You can get Zaino from the home office www.zainobros.com or from distributors like myself all over the country.

You will have to get the car painted, nothing you can do with that paint situation...

You could, but it sounds like you either need to get it painted or trade for something else. You might be able to trade the car cheaper than getting it painted right, and by right I mean a 2,000 to 3,000 dollar paint job.

Zaino will not help faded paint.....

ok heres the deal, tell me what you think my car would go for if i sell it. bought for 4 thousand @ 104,000 its a 95 3.4 v6, when bought installed a $300 deck, 4 speakers that were 100 a pair, alarm with auto start=$800 includes both locks to arm and disarm..and the 80's series flowmaster exhaust....i think i would have some trouble selling the car with the paint in this condition, it now has 108,000 miles...so i dont really know what its worth now, maybe around the same price? We were planning on getting a really nice paint job for 1k or 1,500...from a guy that we know, and he does a great job, lots of clear coats...tell me what you guys think i should do. But i still want to buy some ziano stuff...maybe ill just get the car wash, clay bar, and some wax...

I don't know how it is where you are, but around here any mods you do to the car like stero and mufflers will add zero to the worth of a trade in or private sale unless you find someone who is into the same stuff you are.

Personally, I would not put any funds into the car. V-6 F-bodies have very little resale value where I am at. I would trade it at a car dealership, they could allow you more on it than a used car place as it would not cost them much to have their body shop put a paint job on it and then they would resell it, finance rates are so low (0% to 2 or 3%) you might as well trade it. 0% for 5 years, you can not argue with that..... If you can get a new car, then do it, they are much more fun to Zaino

hah, now youve made me want to get a new car....yeah thats why i said my car is prolly worth around the same price..my mods will only make the car easier to sell, and when i start it up, it will make ooos, and awws....the only reason a dealership might give me more for my car is because then when you go to buy their cars, they are more expensive...oh yeah, did i mention, i cant have a car payment i cant get a job, because i swim, my parents tell me if i get good grades, and keep swimming to get into college they will pay for my gas, insurance, regrestration, etc, but they will not go for a car payment, expecially when, within the next 2 months, they are both getting new cars...
