- My recommendation is that you first talk to the paint shop you are going to use. I know that the guy I use does a great job on my cars, and he is a bit expensive. However, I also know that the most i

- ...and while we're on this topic, what would be the benefits/shortcomings of media-blasting the shell, versus dipping? One obvious benefit of the latter would be more complete stripping, I guess (i.e
