It'd be more of a pain than it would be to spend the $20 and buy a new one. That is a BC/CC, real-deal paint job on it. I'd spend a few hours trying to get it prepped correctly, lol.

Thank you! This is actually my second Neon. I had a 2001 in that rarer Shale Metallic Green I think it was called, for almost a year- it was totaled. I like them better than any other of the small cars for the price, plus I know how to take them completely apart and put them back together. No sense in wasting all of that knowledge about them. Good cars IMO. All depends how they get taken care of.

Yeah I guess it saves you on gas also the neon and probably your daily driver seeing all your other rides take up alot of gas.

It is. It gets driven at least a couple of hundred miles per week. Can be over 500 miles in a week at times. Though, it's being a pain ATM with transmission issues again. Hopefully that will all be sorted out here in the next couple of weeks.
