RE: Black paint on mid-80's Audi's

I owned a black '84 4kq in Peru, South America of all places.  The weather
on the coast is as atrocious as a car can be expected to bear (fine sand,
and dirt everywhere, it never rains but it is humid all the time, air
blowing off the sea with a high salt content).  Needless to say that 12 year
old cars have rusted away to nothing, are working on their second or third
paint job, or were made in Ingolstadt.  The guy I sold the car to refused to
believe it was the original paint, in fact, he refused to believe it was a
12 year old car!
