I have to agree with both Jay and Chris. My Ausca spider still has about 85% or more of its original paint, with the help of Skip McCabe of McCabe Automotive Restorations, Skip deals in vintage Ferrari restoration as well as other classics. My car has had a life with me for a few years as a race car, complete with the bumps and dings that come with that life. I have always taken the best care of this car that I possibly could, but 44 year old paint is still 44 year old paint. In some kinds of daylight, the OEM paint does display many of the colors of the rainbow, but the car still shows well in the concours, particularly as an unrestored race car. Be sure to treat the old beauties to all the attention they have earned!
