Ray,

1) Let me know what you do about paint.
2) Re: tire pressures, the number on the tire is not really very
meaningful. It goes along with the maximum load rating, and the speed
rating, temperature rating and the temperature of the day/pavement. The
heavier the car, the hotter the tire, the greater the side-load in a
corner, the older the carcass, etc. makes it all academic. Measure the
footprint. It should be all the way across the tread (except for
motorcycle type treads that go up the side-wall. The tire should wear
evenly across the contact patch. The should be no scalloping. ETC. Any
tire store has a chart that show what the tire wear looks like from the
wrong pressure (high/low), wheel alignment, bad shocks, etc.
