The paint job is older (mid '80s I was told) and does have some minor rock chips here and there. Additionally, there is some solvent pop in the clear coat on the hood, top, and trunk lid. I'm not sure if those could be wet sanded out and re-shot with clear. It is a solid paint job however and looks good. If I were to keep this as my personal car, I would look at a repaint sometime in the future. There is absolutely no rust on any part of the car. The sheet metal is super straight and solid. I am a reasonable seller and am willing to work with anyone, so please reach out with any additional questions of if you would like to put this beautiful '55 in your garage. Thank you for looking and thank you for the question.
