	I was expecting to hear from you, Hank ;) I was just reading the dos and donts on it, that goes right along with what you're
saying.
	Where'd you get your stripes? I think I might actually have trouble finding matte (or at least low-sheen satiny) black, most
folks want bright colors or at least a high shine. I suppose Pep Boys might have some stuff, just not sure about the quality, as you
say.
