New coat of paint?

I bought a Silver used 05 350z for my 16th birthday and its got some scratches on it and I want to get rid of them... Should I get a completely new coat of paint or what?

It depends if money grows on trees in your neck of the woods.

LOL! Do lot's of reading before making anymore posts or threads please. You are 0-2 already with this post and the other one you did on which wheels to buy. Painting a car will cost you a lot of money. Go to body shops for estimates.

Welcome and good luck.

daym! a Z on your 16th bday? welcome. And don't waste your money on an entire paint job. Even a good body shop wouldn't recommend it.

16th birthday?

Don't worry about fresh paint, you're just going to wreck it anyways.

Sorry for every one being mean to you OP, but you can get a good coat of paint from an online source if you are willing to ship your car to them. I shipped my car to them because my black paint was swirling. It cost me 500 to ship it, but the paint and labor was only 650! Car looks brand new again. The site is called
