The paint flaking on your car will be clear coat dieback. Happens to a lot of oem COB finishes of this era.
It all depends on how you want your car to look, what budget you are on and the severity of the dieback. I personally would never use a spray can on a car unless it was nearly ready for the scrap heap, but that's me personally.
If you want a cheap job done by a tradesman send me a pm. I'll look at taking on a small job here and there but no full resprays.

Could you be convinced otherwise?

Owen,
Have you had much experience in, or would you be interested in doing an acrylic respray?
I want a "period" (1961) finish to look as factory as possible.

Cheers,
Matt

Bit difficult doing a full respray in my spare time as well as working full time. Most people would want their car back in a short space of time.

Hi Guys

The paint on my 99 WRX is peeling a bit. Im going to sell it soon enough.
Should i get it resprayed and try and sell it for $9500 or leave it and sell it for $7500.
Its got 180K on the clock and in really good condition apart from the paint.

What's the 'actual', cost of repairs?

Factor it back to what you will 'actually', get.

Spending money on something you're selling without any real gains doesn't make sense to me at all.
