I didn't and I had intended to keep it that way on Keelback Amazon. This is what she looked like after a 40,000LY exploration:
Then I got destroyed a couple of weeks ago. It was my own stupid fault as I went in for some deep space salvage and got bounced by two overpowered NPC's hiding in the wreckage when I should have been taking more notice of my scanner .
So she's got new paintwork (minus what I've chipped of lately).
It's the first time I've been destroyed in months but, then again, I do spend a lot of time in the black.
I've never repaired paint on any of my ships. I go for the rugged merchant marine feel.

When you're on fire, nothing can put the flames out.
0% paint health since the end of the last year and proud of it. Pity I can't post a pic of my T9 - my sigpic doesn't do justice unfortunately..
I've not really thought about it until now. I tend to touch up my paintwork occasionally, when I remember about it or spot some wear & tear in the Outfitters.
However, I really do wish I'd left my AspX paint exactly as it was when I got back from my first ever long trip out into the black - 6.5KLY away from the bubble - that Black Friday paintjob looked very impressive with significant wear and tear. How I regret not leaving it exactly as it was - an explorers proud badge of toil and distance! Now, it's back to pristine Midnight Black... maybe I need to get out there again and beat it up a little!

Depends on the ship.... My Annie is a 0% and since its vibrant yellow in theory - it looks like an over-ripe banana now. In contrast Cobra has custom chrome paint and is polished lovingly daily
I never repair my paint.
It's too hard to glue back all the flakes lost so I just get new paint and paint it over.

I clean my paint after every long range travel. But I like to get pictures of my poor victims before doing that
That's my sidewinder parked at Jaques - Colonia after my Outlander Challenge. 22 ly made in a ultra-stripped little tin can

I'm like those truck drivers in India. I have wild paint schemes on my boat, and I like keeping it shiny. I repair paint whenever I repair integrity.
I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
We'll be leaving Docking Bay 94 as soon as you're ready.
Repped for Star Wars reference. [up]

That's a great paint job! [heart]
Finally I can post a descend pic of my T9 with 0% paint health (since 2.1 ~ about summer 2016):
I am really proud of this degraded level I managed to achieve!

I logged into my Asp this morning and discovered my paint was at 97%.
I’ve never intentionally repaired my paint. I want my ships, especially my Asp, to look well used. So I must have accidentally clicked repair paint without realising. It’s too easy to do. I would like to be able to disable this function, or at least make it harder to get at.
I suggest making repair integrity the default. Plus put the tab with both of these behind the restock function.
Hey friendo, Fed ships no, Empire ships yes... is my bag.

The Pythons screens are the most dirty, don't you think? Maybe we could get an in game equivalent to those window wiper folks who haunt the traffic lights in London. Maybe hanging near the stars in vacuum suits?
It's cheaper to re-paint the in game Corvette...

I change paint jpbs on my Courier fairly often, and I always keep them in pristine condition. Other ships I'm not so fussed about.
Can't have it looking like this:
