OK, I got a 92 Accord that has badly faded paint. I'm going to try and fix it up as best as I can and sell it. I'm not looking to get it perfect, just better than it is now. Is there any hope for a badly faded paint job? The hood and roof are glazed over, kind of whitish dull appearance. What do I need to do to bring back the black paint? Can I use some rubbing compound? Or does the clearcoat need to be completly removed? Then would I have to have the clearcoat repainted? Can this be done by myself? I don't want to put much money into it. Plus I like to do things myself! Thanks!

Here's a pic showing the fading of the hood

 

You can't just clearcoat itll look like ****, The cheapest thing you can do is take it to macco or do the same job yourself. You just have to weight out wether or not its worth it. I.E will you get more than what you paid for the paint job extra. cause if you cant profit from paint, sell it as is.

 

i'd just put a buntch of wax on it. Helped with my legend that was losing clear coat

 

If I was you Ill just sell them fog lights,

Read the following article ....

Detailing 101

 

most of that doesnt even apply to a car without clear coat...

sell it as is

 

So my car doesnt have a clear coat? I thought it did?

How about some rubbing compound? What type should I use? I'm not going to get it painted, I just wanted to try and use some sort of cleaner or rubbing compound to get it at least a little better than before.
