Well, gratz on the concept of purchasing a D :-) (Excellent choice ... 
I'll have mine eventually also ...) The problem with buying a painted D 
is that the prep work involved with doing a GOOD paint job on stainless 
requires (according to other information on the list) that the 
stainless is acid etched(?) which often ruins the texturing on the 
stainless panels and makes it virtually impossible to restore to it's 
original finish. Also somthing to watch out for is that psint jobs 
_sometimes_ are used to handle stainless panel damage ... just somthing 
to think about :-)

Check the old archives tho at http://www.dmcnews.com there have been 
some discussions previously about painted D's.
