[DML] Re: Fascia paint

["William F. Lane" <blane@xxxx>]

Ben,

Any reliable body shop should be able to handle the front and rear facia of the D without
having to remove them. I had a local body shop that specialized in Corvettes to repaint mine
about 2 years ago. I just gave them the paint code and they did the rest.
Cost $300.00
