Default Should I do it?

My car has alot of dents, dings, and scrathes on it. There is paint on the trunk that does not match the factory paint: Here is an old pic of my car:



I also got rear ended (no damage to the car) just to the bumper. If you look closely at this pic:



You can see scratches on the bumper.

Here are some pics of my car:





I really don't have the money right to get the car repainted the stock color since I am saving up for a swap and I was wondering if I should paint my car flat black? Please MODS do not close this, I have already searched and did not really get an answer.

lol I dunno what it is but some people LOVE flat black.

The only way I would ever paint my car flat back is if I got body work done and my car wasnt completely painted. Otherwise, your car looks fine.

Spend the money on the motor

i like flat black, but its not worth it for your car, paint looks good so far.. if it was way worse then i would understand the case... but leave it, you wont regret it

leave it. You will regret painting it flat blk when it still had decent paint. Unless you have different color panels and what not, then go for it. As it sits now. Leave it.
