Waiting for parts delivery and thought I would see if there was any paint left on the top side. It's basically all brown from either surface rust, paint oxidation or maybe the primer showing through. I picked one of the worst areas on the car and started buffing with some compound and under a substantial layer of oxidation, paint appeared. There was a streak through it where the paint was gone and the primer was showing, but there is still some paint. It's going to be a long slow process bringing that back but over time it'll get done.
