Yes it looks like it has seen a few.. Was thinking of taking to Macco's for a cheap quick paint job, or just do a plastic dip cover up on it. I believe it is a air bag.It looks like its seen a few body shops ??? Is that and air bag in the steering wheel ??? Good Luck...
Sounds like a good idea.. I would of given it a light sanding when I got home and then the following month or so painted it. I have been burnt from a body shop and vowed never to let anyone do any type of work on my vehicles! Lost a lot of money and waited for ever to get my VW back. Never again, every.. If I don't know how to do some thing I will learn how to do it.If you're looking to do a cheap paint job (at the risk of getting flamed lol), I would consider just paint bombing the thing. Normally, i would highly advise against it, but no more painted surface than you have on the convertible, it wouldn't be too bad. Just find some decent paint that is fairly close to the original color. You could do a different section every weekend. It would be cheaper than Maaco and probably better, since you could focus on getting it taped off really well and dismantling it as far as you want.
I was looking for a cheap paint job on my truck, but ended up taking it to a shop because there was just way too much surface area. On a car like yours, I would seriously consider tackling it.
