Re: [DML] louvre paint

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

The rear louver is made of Fiberglas with a semi flat black finish. The
louver, side vents and license plate fascia can be returned to factory new
look with the application of Krylon semi-flat black spray paint. Best
results will be achieved by following the product instructions.

Concerning your cold start problem the time-temperature test that you
described is correct.
