Paint my car?
My 2016 Mazda 6 looks like crap due to sun damage on the roof and hoods. I only have 65k miles on it, and based on my quick internet searches, Mazda engines have a tendency to last close to 200k miles. If I'm going to live my values, I should to drive the car into the ground before getting a new one, which at the rate I drive, means I'll be close to dead before this engine gives out (but maybe the transmission/other goes earlier?). OTOH, the computer in this car is also crappy, but my phone mounted on the dash meets my needs.
Also, I'm tight with my money. So maybe I choose to not spend money and live with crappy car computer. (My husband's newish truck has all these cameras and a great car computer of which I am jealous.) A new to me car is not out of the question, but I like the size of my car, the cargo capacity, the reliability, the way it drives, and I don't want to spend the money.
My quick internet searches have not found recommendations on painting cars in Livermore. I find collision repair, paint touch ups, wraps and PPF w/ & w/o color, and the recommendation that paint is the way to go if you expect to keep the car for a long time. So general info that is useful before I run out of patience.
I don't need my car to look great, just not crappy. However, I don't want to deal with a crappy paint job that flakes and what not. I understand that I won't get a color match unless I paint the whole car.
I'm looking for someone who will work with me. I may get the whole car painted; I may not. I want it to be in Livermore. I don't want to drive as far as Pleasanton to get this done. Thank you for any recommendations or other comments and information.
