$249 Paint job @ The Local Shop...Worth Doing?

Thats a nice "classic" looking yellow. Not bad for a cheapie paint job.

Now it's up to you to keep it looking good. I'd invest in an orbital waxer and wax that thing about 4 times a year. If you get a decent Makita orbital and liquid wax, take two microfiber cloths...one damp and one dry. Wax each panel with the orbital, use the damp cloth to wipe most of the wax off and then buff with the dry cloth. You can knock it out in a half hour easy.
