><Actually, I'm considering painting it a non-OE silver.>
Do it!! I did and I get more compliments about the paint than the car. If I
ever get around to it I will put it on Skye's web site for all the purists
to growl at! The color I used was from an '85 dodge truck, radiant metallic
silver. Always liked silver and couldn't have chosen a better one. It looks
>great with the chrome bumpers.
I had Tintin painted silver for many years, because my dad's TC was silver.
I had to have it repainted after two years, and then the paint lasted
another five. Make sure you have plenty of clearcoat over the top.
Silver oxidizes incredibly fast! Tintin is back to the original BRG,
and now my dad's TC is, too!
