So now that summertime's rolled around and I'm not broke as hell (just mildly broke) I can finally get back to working on my car. I've decided to put my plans for rims and sound system on hold to fix up the car as it is now before I add anything else to it.
My car is fairly old and at this point it has a good amount of scratches and stuff which, the car being a very reflective shade of black, are quite noticeable and just ruin the looks of it. What I'm wondering is if it would be worth repainting, and how much should I be expecting to pay for a paint job thats at least as good as the stock paint (I've been told paint jobs from places like Maaco can run $300 but they are horrible in quality) or if it may be a better idea to just get the car properly waxed to at least get rid of the majority of the scratches. Any help/guidance is much appreciated.
Keep in mind I'm a noob with no ability or capability to paint the car on my own.
