Re: [DML] Re: Paint for louver



What's with the louvre paint?

I thought my louvres were faded beyond repair. They looked horrible. I
sprayed them down with armor all and let it sit (didn't wipe it off right
away). Now they look much better, almost like new (or maybe new? I have
never seen a new louvres...)

For a group that shirks painted Deloreans, it seems that the louvres get
painted pretty fast.
