When do you think it would be just about time to get a new paint job for your vehicle?

    When it has become sun faded ... or there are "too much" damage to the paint job ... or when it is beginning to show signs of rust underneath.

    Of course, if you just want to change color ... you can probably get a wrap job for less.

    Never. As long as it is running, I don't care about rust. It's 10 years old and not one spot yet. Still shiny, too, and I have never washed and waxed it.

    You must not live where there are birds.   Bird-doo eats paint.

    When the city tore down the spruce tree by our driveway to re-build the road, that problem disappeared.

    Never. I got lucky, but the way primers and paints are applied now keeps the rust way down.

      Has anyone else ever washed your car during those ten years?

    Yes, a body shop. It's ten, but I bought it used 5 or 6 years ago.
