Ok so I just got the monte back from the body shop with a brand new body kit after having to replace it bc if an accident with an animal. With that being said...the paint is so fresh and shiny compared to the rest of the car. Being a black car it shows everything and you can really tell the difference from the kit to the body of the car. Obviously i can paint the whole car but Im curious if there are any experts out there that can give me some ideas on how to bring the paint back to life without dropping $4k on a new paint job?

 

Try the turtle wax black box right quick see if that does anything, or any of those wax kits for black cars it's worth a shot for the price.

 

Take it to a good detail shop and have it buffed. Sounds like the only option.

 

I was just gonna post that lol

 

A decent body shop should be able to clean it up and give you a couple new layers of "Clear coat" and that would make your car's paint package really pop like new. I did that to my Monte, had the regulation Chevy stripes painted on, they wet sanded the whole car,buffed it out added 3 layers of Clear coat and wow, like new paint again. It was money well spent..

 

have it buffed out. make sure the person you have do it knows what they are doing. black can be a pain for an amateur.
