My grey '84 was repainted about ten years ago at a local Maaco. It looks really shiny right after its been washed but after a few days you can tell the clear coat is starting to get chalky. The painting around the "300D" and "Turbodiesel" on the trunk are getting pretty flaky. The p/o only paid about $450 for it though. That's probably where I'll take the '85 when I get it put back together.
