TBH a paint job isn't going to add much to your price. A new paint job wont add the $1000 you pay to get it onto the price you sell could sell it for now, so I wouldn't even bother getting it.

EX. My buddy bought a red Civic for $2500, with decent paint, only a few little imperfections. Then he spent $1000 to paint it yellow, and it did look perfect. When he went to sell it he advertised it for $3000 with "new paint job". Ended up gettin $2200.
