No offense to anyone who owns a red D, but I have never liked the red painted cars, something about the color does not seem to complement the car for some reason. Many other people I have talked to agree. If you like it, that's all that matters. It seems most everyone seems to like Ron's yellow D, but I think all the additions he has made seem to give it a tuner look and make it a little more modern looking than most. ...but in my opinion, the only color that looks good on a D is BLACK. Stephen's black D with the Ferrari style rims was one of the coolest looking D's I have ever seen. If I were to have a painted car, it would be a black one. However, if there is something wrong with the car as far as having some body damage covered up by bondo and paint, and you really want it to look original consider this cheesy option, just paint the thing metalic SILVER. If you get the color of silver just right, from a short distance no one will know the difference! With a nice clear coat you won't have all the washing trouble the rest of us suffer! - Videobob >From: "Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx> >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [DML] Re: stripping paint >Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2004 13:51:48 -0000 > > > > >IMHO, if you want stainless there are too many D's available to mess >with taking paint off of one - especially if you don't know what is >under the paint (Bondo, etc.). > >Harold McElraft - 3354 > > > > >--- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Jay Gosciniak" <gotojayjay@xxxx> >wrote: > > > > Hey everyone I have found a delorean for about $8,000 around where >my > > grandfather lived, except that it is painted red, is there any way >to strip > > the paint?
