Well, bought the car, got a pretty good deal on it a few months ago. I have been doing preventive type maintenance for the time since them, new distributor, plugs, wires, timing belt and tensioner, neuspeed pulley kit, all fluids etc etc. Well as I'm sure a lot of you euro enthusiasts will know by looking at the picture, I got the year and color which was recalled by volkswagen some years ago b/c of bad paint issues. The original owner didn't get it taken care of so I can't take advantage of the recall (to my knowledge anyways, if someone wants to make my day and tell me otherwise, grrrreat). The hood, trunk and roof took most of the damage, but the front and rear bumpers and door accents look kinda bad too. Anyways, so in the next month I'm going to start prepping for paint and do the damn thing. A buddy of mine bought all the paint to repaint his truck and then subsequently totalled it but still has all the stuff, only problem is that it's candy apple red and I don't know if it will look good. Just trying to get opinions on what I should do, keep in mind I can get everything, gallon of paint, gallon of clear, gallon of primer, all hardeners etc for 50 bucks if the candy red is where I end up going. So, here is a picture, if someone wants to photoshop the candy or whatever other color you think would look good, go right ahead, I'm game to see options.

note: rake isn't really this bad, it had 4 17 inch wheels in the trunk on a slight downhill grade.
