Is that anal or asinine ? Oh, that's Pizzo, right.  I saw Paul Strong 
at Aero Colors in Boulder do magic during the '91 nationals.  It's not 
diy but his price was reasonable considering what a prep and respray 
would cost.

  I just replaced the front bumper and the shop sprayed right from the 
computer mix- no adjustment for age, etc, and the match is perfect.  
Not cheap, but perfect match.

I thought the Scotchcal paint protection film or "clear bra" was a 
Colorado necessity.   I just replaced mine after the new paint cured, 
trying to prevent those annoying little chips.

Tom '95 S6 Pearl White, but not early pearl.
