quite popular to paint a car with a roller in america, thick coats and lots of sanding and it can look as good as any paint job.

its lyk a tan/brown. rust isnt bad, jus slight on arches, nothing near as bad as it should be for its age. but for 36k you wouldnt expect alot of it would you?

it shouldn't be terrible no, but if it's been sat outside it could still be pretty rotten, you never know with old cars, although 36k miles is very low for such an old beast
i think matt beige/brown would work well, but that's only if you have to paint it - and do all the door shuts etc so it actually looks half decent lol
