I wonder how old and dried out the paint is.

Either for the house OR on the car

Oughta get a bunch of 'listers over there to do it together. Then take the car to Ohio and do Dan's idea from a previous thread: wrench it into shape and give it away as the grand prize at the end of 944Fest!

If it is in the Boston area, painting a house correctly would be a major undertaking. Figure in the prep, labor, and materials (good paint, not cheap) and for an average two story you are quickly way over the value of that car.

It cost me about $7K to paint mine just labor. I supplied all materials. The painter said if he had realized how hard it would be he'd've charged over $10K:

And if you want to paint it again, I'm sure the neighbors will kick in if they get to pick the color :-)
