It has a really godawful peeling "Judge" paint job. If you look at the large photo you can see that it's entirely gone off the roof and down the rear.

Is painting the top half of your car black a thing? I saw three different cars (separately, in different places) driving around the other day with one half red and the other half black. Couldn't figure it out at all.

In this case, it was that style. The rear even had gothic "THE JUDGE" script. I was laughing too hard to try to focus on that picture. It would have shown off how bad this paint was missing everywhere, though.

This car. This one right here. It is so late 70s/early 80s redneck that I almost want to try to love it, but it's not an A body, it's not a G body, it's not an F body.

It's just another gutless shitstain with really awful 'makes its own glue' applications.

We don't. I swear. That it has factory wheels, though, just makes me cringe. I will pretend that the rear end got smacked hard, and that it has a replacement trunk which is nearly the same color, but not quite.

I've never seen a tarted-up 95. Just 93s.

Couldn't get a picture of it in time, but it was an old Jetta that someone appeared to use a putty knife to scrape their hood down to the metal. It is really difficult to describe just how bad it looked.

Is that how you prep VW's for that rust look? I want to see what they look like after the paint is gone but before that ridiculous patina stage.

I don't think it is common to use a putty knife (he either used that or a dremel with an oversized stone grinder - and is a heroin addict). It really looked godawful.

I've heard of various stripping methods, but never seen anything gouged this badly that wasn't in an accident - it was the metal equivalent of using a pry bar on soft plastic.

I had never felt the urge to follow someone and ask if they wanted help pissing on their hood (rusts faster) before seeing how awful this looked with shiny metal.

Have you tried talking to Dave White? He's the indy shop in Washoe Valley. He's helped me buy and sell a few. The best part is he's no-BS. He'll tell you if the car is a junker, how it's been maintained, etc. If you don't have the number, shoot me an email/PM and I'll send it to you.
