I don't want to get all pedantic on you because you probably don't wanna hear it.
But my "garage queen" car's paint is actively falling off of the front bumper, the hood, roof and mirrors all used to be missing patches of clear so I had to wipe some on with a brush and it looks terrible. The rear bumper cover is scuffed from being rear ended, every single panel has dings and dents, the hood has fine clearcoat scratches in it, and there's a massive, noticeable touch-up job on the front left fender where my fat ass college roommate slammed into it on his bicycle. Point being, I have a full time job, my project car looks like all hell, and getting it painted or wrapped or whatever is at the dead bottom of my list.
I would seriously recommend getting yourself a nice $20 touch up kit, and if you really want to shine it up find someone with a buffer/DA to borrow so you can give it a good cut & polish. Save your big money to do big things. But that's just me. :dunno:
