Will it look like crap after 15 years?

Carolla's paint look like crap after 12 years or so.

why are you so condescending? You shouldn't comment unless you have something useful to say.

lowlife9 has been very helpful in the past. With that in mind--let's also try to keep people on the forum, not away from it.

That's just Lowlife :P

My 04 is getting new paint on the front bumper, but the body is still pretty much mint, even through Canadian winters...I'm pretty sure my electronic rust inhibitor helps.

This is definitely (not "might") the least educated comment I have read this year.

From Huntsville, and I live in Barrie

I wish I had your talent for bodywork...I'm getting my front and rear bumper, mirrors and door handles repainted soon, and I would have liked to have been able to do it myself.
