yeah and yet another 1998 black svt owner pissed off about my paint, yeah the preveous owner must have lived on a dirt and rock road cause the rock guards are all chipped up but the hood,roof,and trunk are shi**y. i am going to price and see how much the cheapest black metalic paint job is, so i dont have to pay big money and change the color and pull the engine so everything matches. that may work. also 1996-1998 ford had alot of toxin problems in thier paint. i had a 1997 contour off the showroom and 6 months later brought it back cause the paint was chipping, they re-painted the entire car for me **free* and gave me a mustang gt for those 2 weeks to drive, then again thats alaksa for ya.
