I have an '87 GN with 25k miles on it. The paint on the hood and front fenders is checked and doesn't look too bad if you are 10' away. The paint on the rest of the car is in good shape. I intend on keeping the car for at least 10 years & I am trying to decide the smartest thing to do as far as painting the car & its resale value. Should I....(1) Do nothing, (2) Paint the entire car, (3) Paint only the hood and fenders.

I'd do #2 ... partial paint jobs always show, especially with black and the fact that the factory paint was so inconsistent to begin with (the rear quarters of mine have tiny gold flake in it ... from the factory!)

Since you are keeping it, I'd just bite the bullet and do a high quality repaint.
