Will it look like crap after 15 years?

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

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.

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.
