So i was thinking a faux job might look okay, if I took my time and did it right. Do any of Y'all have tips?
How would it look to take it down to the sheet metal in places and do a diesel oil finish? I'm just rattling off ideas here.

Thanks dudes.
your paint job could be saved if you wanted to. ive seen worst and was able to restore the paint, I would color sand and buff it you might be supprised how it comes out. just take your time when color sanding.
