Yea I figured since I got it cheap it isn't going to be perfect but a little paint and new wheels will make it look like it's supposed to... I have no idea what the guy before me was thinking with this paint job but one thing for sure it dose not look good at all

even the wheels she has would look decent freshened up, but new ones wouldn't hurt. you mentioned getting a newer one, but I'd honestly just put work into this one to save her and keep her

He was thinking "I wonder if it will be a good day today as I stand out in front of the Home Depot?"

There's a lot of videos on roll on paint jobs.
X2 back in my auto body class in high school we were constantly painting people's cars. Students as well. They turned out great and now 4 years later some if the ones we painted when I was a senior still look dang good. Just get in touch with your local high school born vocational school.

Buy an HVLP turbine sprayer from harbor freight. Easy to use and lays paint fairly nice.

Plasti dip that thing.
