[Shotimes] duplicolor spray painting the car

[Paul Nimz]

The cherry red I use that is a match for the TR color gets darker with age and
heat.  The only other color I use a lot of is Wal-Mart black.

I did use some platinum metal flake paint.  That is a good paint for rough
surfaces as it is a bit lumpy.  Currently I'm painting the engine nik naks
with the 500F aluminum.
