I would wait to save up for a professional paint job done. You cannot just get spots repaired. It will not blend in with the original paint and will not look too good. If you try to do it yourself with spray cans, it will look ghetto. If you love the car, wait and do it right.

Yeah thats what I though would be the best thing to do.
Do you know how much a basic pant job cost? I mean my 323 is white and I would proble be happy with it to be just white just a nice paint job.
What can I do about that exposed metal? I don't want it to rust yah know?

Go to some good body shops in your area, they should give free estimates for any type repair or paint you want. Paint prices have really went up recently, just like everything else. Just tell them what you want done. I am not too familiar with prices, but I do know someone that just had their VW Bug painted, it cost $2000. But he had it painted a pearl white and did a complete job. This includes removing the doors, trunk, hood, fenders, and interior trim to paint all the door jambs, under the hood and trunk lid, etc... Anywhere there was exposed metal, to make it look like a factory job. On cheap paint jobs there will be overspray inside the doors, or under the hood, places like that. The paint will not match in hidden places.

Ah I see. Man thats a lot of money!
Well I wonder if I removed the pant and sanded it my self if that would save any money?
I am not to sure on what they do but I think thats what takes a lot of the time. I mean I don't think it takes them that long to paint the car it self?
I though it just takes a while to get the old paint off and sand it then put the primer or under coat or something like that on.
I mean I don't want a full job done if its going to cost that much. I would just like it to be painted and it to look good. I mean I don't want any thing fancy just how it looked befor the paint chipping.
I wish I had taken that freaking collision repair class.

Just go get some free estimates and see what they tell you, look in the yellow pages for body shops. I know there has to be some good reputable ones in the DFW area.
