Have you thought about changing career paths and becoming a Private Dick? I think it would suit you well.

Your car is so nice, I would not go mucking around with it..... Refinish to pristine condition and leave well enough alone.

At the moment, I'm vexed.

Once I yank one of the calipers and start blasting the old finish off, I'll need to step up to the plate.

Red's a bit overdone (I have red on my yellow cab). I'd say a nice royal blue would work nice with silver car.

Andreas,
