The paint on mine is 'dull', but would come back with a buffing and wax.
The problem is, there are about 200 small rust spots all ove the car,
including one in the middle of the roof, so a spot repair would leave it
looking like it had measles. The alternative is new paint, and I have
thought of the Imron topcoat - great paint, and great at killing insects -
definitely time to get new filters for my respirator...
