its a lot of work to do the red oxide primer/overspray. The PO did a good job and did it when the car was a bare shell on a rotisserie so i’m going to leave it. The fenderwells will look better in truck bed liner and they will be durable. I already put about 2500-3000 miles on the car in the couple months I had it on the road, its tough to say exactly how much because the speedo cable broke on day 1.
