The paint was really fading, and starting to turn a slightly purple color... It wasn't painted with base coat clear coat, and my Dad was the one who painted it. I decided I want to get it painted professionally with base coat clear coat. It looked a lot worse before I started sanding than it did in the first couple of pictures. It rapidly started to fade, I think he didn't get enough paint on certain places.

Here's a picture when it started to go bad. It got worse than this. Notice the lines running down below the mirrors =\. We tried buffing and waxing it, didn't help
