Hey guys, I'm going to attempt to try to bring this thing back to life a little bit. It is a '79 Firebird that my Mom bought new. The paint is all original except for the drivers side front fender (One of my Mom's friends slid into it about 6 months after she got it during a snow/ice storm in Washington D.C.). My sister also drove it to high school and parked under some trees almost every day, so it got sap and bird crap and lord knows what else on it and she didn't wash it often. All of that has left the paint in the condition you see here for the most part.
So, I'm looking for suggestions. What would you do? Or is it a lost cause? I'm not looking to make it like new again because I don't think that's possible, but it can't get much worse.
Not sure who/what did this. Wasn't me.
This is the fender that got repainted....I know the spider cracks/paint fading on the edge isn't fixable, but it makes me think the paint is kinda thin, so I don't want to make that worse either.
Thanks,
