You may not care about orange peel .. I had to redo a few cars because customer cared about it ..

every car has it, if it hasnt been redone. why go out and pay almost a thousand dollars worth for decals and then a couple thousand to have it repainted when it looks just fine? and we drive my dads car, it just doesnt get driven everday. in fact today it was 42 degrees out and we havent had snow on forever so the roads were clean no chemicals on then so we drove it.

i priced out the decals for my 01 they were like $250 a piece for the #3's and over 125 a piece for the signatures and like $60 a piece for the rcr decals.

some cars get valued at higher prices if they are signed by the driver they were designed after, for example if Carroll Shelby signed one of his original Shelby cars then yea you just added a certain amount of money to your car, but his cars are far and between, another example would be the 2000 Cobra R, it doesn't need to be signed by anyone to fetch a decent amount of money but its a limited production car and it differs from its comparable sub-models, example: the Cobra R doesn't even share the same engine as the basic SVT Cobra or many other things beside that, my point is that a DE JR Monte Carlo was widely produced and shares almost all the same features as the lesser sub model SS which are nearly identical cars minus a few minor cosmetic changes nothing else really changed... that doesn't mean its nothing special when you are trying to sell a car produced the same identical way 4000 times it gets kinda hard to make you're unique from the rest, unless maybe its the first one made or the last one made but other than than you're stuck with 3997 other cars that feature the exact same thing as yours.
all n' all its not how much is a car worth, but how much you love it and what it means to you.

I Didn't say I had to repaint the cars , I said REDO as in resand and buff..
Because customer didn't like orange peel , It Looked just like factory.
