Default What to do about my paint...

Well i got my hands on my project da integra. the white paint is almost chalk like and very ugly and i am hoping to do somethign aobut it. I guess i could paint it flat black but its played out. I have a compressor and access to a paint gun. Any suggestions on a color that will look pretty good without clear coat? thanks, i kinda want to do wasabi green but thats just me.

It is because it is a laquer paint. Take it to a detail shop and have them buff it out. I work at a detail shop and see this all the time. Once you get them to buff it out, you can easily keep it up by hand.

why not redo the white?, just paint the mirrors, side skirts, and molding it will look good
