this of course would cause your wife to insist you sell it to recoup the money invested in the upgrade of paint...
if it bothers you, sand/polish the rough paint, and have maaco or whatever give it a quick shot of color.
and don't be so quick to claim 6K is a great price. a car maintained like that with known history should be worth 12K to you. paint is worth it, if only to preserve the car and protect it from rust!
