Not to hijack the thread, but how has the paint held up Randall? Is she stored inside or out and under a cover?
This car is my daily driver; I keep it outdoors with no cover (which is why it's dirty at the moment, we get an incredible amount of dust here). It's only been a few months since it was painted, but so far it's held up reasonably well. There are a couple of chips that I need to take it back for (supposed to be guaranteed against chips for several years), but nothing too major.

My attitude is that the paint job is only temporary. Parking in a public lot every day, it's bound to pick up "parking lot rash", plus sand and gravel from the road will take their toll. If it lasts 5 or 6 years, I'll be happy. Next time I get it painted, I may even switch back to the proper 'smallmouth' apron. Maybe by then I'll find (or make) the reveal molding around the grille
