louvre paint

["James LaLonde" <krfds@xxxx>]

i bought a delorean about a month ago, had some intial repairs/restoration
done and it's now on the road with only some weather seal problem, (parts
are on the way for that), cold start problems (not a huge concern of mine,
won't drive much in the winter... but will be fix right after the seals),
and some superficial stuff.
so...
couple of questions.
what are the louvres made of? and how were they originally painted/color...
mine are very dull and scratched a bit. same with the non-fuctional 'vents'
behind the door and the intake vents..
any recommendation on how to repaint/resurface these?

also could someone help with the cold start diagnostic. i read it on
dmcnews... but... just be sure i'm right here... should i just connect the
blue-black wire to the blue-white wire on the harness that plugs into the
thermo-time switch.. and that should make the cold-start valve functional
regardless of the temp. correct?

thanks!
