I just bought a 2002 cavalier coupe with low miles. The car runs great its a 5 speed manual with a sunroof, etc, blah blah…. The only problem is that a few years ago a lot of dark colored GM cars did not do so well with their clear coat. So the clear coat has been baked off a bit on the roof. Dark colors attract heat which overtime baked off some of the clear coat.
So to paint just the roof would be about $400-$1000 which is very expensive, and i know in the future i will have to paint the hood, and the trunk, and those parts will be even more expensive.
So should i get a wrap for the car? It is a black car, and i would get a camo wrap i think. It would cover the cavaliers roof,hood,trunk/spoiler, and a small amount on the doors where it has faded. The rest would be left black, and original unless they also start to fade.

This is what i was thinking. Would it be a good idea? would it look good?
To do the entire top of my car(hood/roof/trunk/spoiler) would be about the same price as just painting the roof of my car.
found a link posted it below to a site that has a suv wrapped in camo. i think it would look good but not just pieces of the car i would do the entire car. they also have a solid black wrap…. hummm i think you should do some research before you decide.
there is a comp on the radio and you have to guest the sound and if you win you get 1700 , i don’t care about the money i just want to know want the sound is its really bugging me here is the list of stuff people have guessed which is wrong

I was going to do that at first but the whole scrolling thing ruined my mood.
My brother was a cop. He lost his job due to an auto immune disease and is now strapped for cash. He has more guns than he know what to do with and wants to sell off the guns he inherited from our Dad.
My Dad worked in Watts, Los Angeles during the Watts riots. (My Dad was old enough to be my grandfather) he got all paranoid after the riots and bought a bunch of guns. Supposedly, Dad kept a .38 under his car seat wrapped in a towel, and kept this rifle in his trunk.
This is the stangest rifle I have ever seen. It says it was made by a company called "Universal." There are four clips for it. The bore looks fine, but one side has a lot of visible rust on it. I am used to a tubular magazine on a pump action.
This gun is really ugly. When you put the slide forward, all you have is this ugly tube under the barrel in front of the clip.
What would a reasonable price for this thing be?
Vulcan’s were 30cal M1 carbines converted to 357 or 44 mag pump actions.
the originals were converted from rebarreled surplus M1 carbines but they became popular enough that the later ones were manufactured from new receivers & looked a little less clunky than the mil surp jobs..
haven’t seen one in 20 years or so & have no idea what they would sell for now.
I am buying a 62 bug from a dude that lives about an hour away. I saw it yesterday and he met me halfway (kind gesture just to show someone the car).
Over all the car was cherry, decent body, great paint, ran/sound good, interior finished. It had some quirks and somethings plain out did not work on the bug. (blinkers, couldnt pop the trunk, etc) small things overall.
He was originally wanted 5k, I told him now way past 4. He said he would work with me and 4k was ok.
I told him I want to move forward and I would call him today to see if we can wrap it up. I also went to a local shop that usually answers my questions. They showed me 3 bugs in their shop that people just purchased and now need all 3 of them needed over 1000 to get it ready for the road.
They strongly warned me to get it inspected before I buy…. only problem is he lives so far away and would be a huge nuisance for him. Especially on how this inspection would probably force him to lower his price even more.
suggestions?
You are unreasonable. You are buying a 40 year old car for just 4 grand and this dude has already driven 40 miles to sell it. Get a shop close to the car to look at it, bring a mechanic to it or take a chance on it. Even if you do spend a grand to fix it, you still got a good deal if it is good shape. If you really want this bug jump on it, because he will sell it to someone else or get tired of listening to your demands.
