My 1990 318is has had panel repairs and the car is now various shades of red - one for each repair.
Some low-life recently coined the entire length of the passenger side of my car. I'm going to get it repaired and am considering getting the entire car resprayed. However, the spray painter reckons I will only get 5 to 7 years before the paint quality deteriorates - especially as the car is parked outside 24x7.
It's a great car and I'd like to keep it in good condition - but not if I need a $3,000 respray every 5 years.
Am I unrealistic hoping that the paint on a red BMW that is parked outside can stay in good condition for at least 10 years?
Would multiple coats of clear paint over the red help?
