Can this paint be restored?

[JDMMA70]

Mine has the original '88 two tone however the the top of the targa top and front nose panel piece is fading/oxidizing. I also think my front are rear bumper are faded as well. I took some pics.

Here you can see the rear bumper and the side of the door. Was it originally like this?

Will Zaino restore my paint? Thanks

likely original (and rare)

you cna try polishing it out, but the paint might just be getting thin and showing the primer now.. might need a partial respray to fix it...

No.

If the rest of the paint is in decent condition, have a good body shop respray and finish to match. You can remove (or have them remove) the panels needed to paint to avoid overspray - a decent body shop should be able to get a good match on that color and, if they do really good work, finish it so it doesn't stick out when compared to the rest of the body.

Oh snap!

Another two-tone blue!

The two I've owned have had the difference in color between the door and front/rear bumper too. I doubt it was originally like that, just 20 years of fading.

It looks save-able to me.


My paints gone completely oxidized from sitting out in the weather so long, but it will be going in for a fresh coat of factory paint here pretty soon.
