If the clear is still intact, have you tried a compound, deep clean and polish first?
Red is the worst colour for fading, ask a detailer to have a look first, may be it only need a deep paint polish. Just a thought, might save you a fortune

As above faded paint can be restored as new if it isn't too bad.
If not a whole re-spray could cost a fair amount.
You get what you pay for normally.

Have tried local detailer, they say it's to far gone so it would be a respray. That's why I thought that someone local might know of a body shop that might do a reasonable job, but having said that the Z also requires tyres,wheel refurb,exhaust,brakes etc. So it looks like it will be uneconomical to have it resprayed and repaired.
That's a lot of work, shame
How do you put a price on uneconomical to repair? If you've had it a long time it doesn't owe you anything and if you want to keep it once it's restored it will be like a new car.
True, but if you spend all that money on it you have to keep it a few years, and enjoy it.
You said you've had the car for 12yrs and want to restore it. I read that as you would like to keep it.
Doh. Thanks Jack, he did say that, I'm losing it
Get a wrap?
Other than the refurb of the wheels all the work is within the scope that even a novice can perform the labour maybe with a little assistance from someone close by. I would get a second opinion on the detailed paint. There are a couple of people that are members that can, if they aren't close by, give you recommendations on who to call. Try Chris @Summit Detailing or @Sean@f5detailing whom I've personally used and who is working on my second car now! HTH JIM

Hi Pete, Thanks for your reply. I have found someone to spray the car, I had remembered a guy who had done a job for me on a company car I had a few years ago, and he did a great job so it goes in today. Have you got the car yet ? and where abouts in St Annes are you ?
