How is everyones Paint on their Turbo SS holding up?

this is almost a Part 2 to my first thrad that got posted like 2 mins ago.

I dont drive my car in the winter or very much in a year period, so I was just curious to know how everyones paint is holding up on their Turbo SS?

high milage, low milage, Canadian Winters, Hot Texas Summers......lemme know cause id love to know the differences that people around North America are finding

I've seen very few, there are a few two tone ones I can think of.. But basically repainting a car takes hella time, or hella money, but usually both

Yeah, one guy on here painted his yellow LNF a nice bright orange.

Paint held up relatively well for this caliber of car on my 2.4 through 2 winters. No major complaints.
