Paint or find replacement? I've got a 98 Arctic white Formula. I just bought it off of a guy on craigslist for CHEAPP and it needs a few cosmetic repairs.
The drivers side door had some sag and the PO replaced it with a pewter colored door. Also the rear bumper has been sanded down to the plastic and then primed. Not sure what type of primer was used.
Anyway, my question is, which would be easier?
Repaint said parts or find good used Arctic white replacements?
I went to the local pick-n-pull and they have a 99 white firebird. I almost bought the door but during a close inspection I found that it was hacked up by someone who yanked the window motor out of it. SO I passed.
Another salvage yard has a complete white door for $120 and a white bumper for $100.

I had a white Grand prix once and i tried to mix new white paint with old and it was not good. I just bought replacement fenders NBM and they look pretty good,they were from a 01 and mine is an 98, I am pleasantly surprised.
