71 Twister up for adoption

The car is a 318 with 3 speed manual. The original paint option was gone in 1990 when I had it repainted. I had it repainted again in 2012. Don’t know why but the paint job is failing and it needs to be stripped and repainted before it rusts. Sad…it looks great from a distance but clearly needing paint when up close.View attachment 1715788264

Well, from what a few friends have done with their vw's, I would try and paint it myself. Daunting I know, but ppg sells kits to make an e-z up or garage into a temporary paint booth. just my two dimes but I think a good wet sand with 1500 then 2000 and clear over the top would fix a lot of the things wrong with the paint. (again, i am no expert but I helped my friend paint his ragtop bug and after a light clear and color sanding, the crappy old paint really popped.)

but what do I know.... my car looks like this.:lol:
