Message	The factory painting/curing process alone makes OEM paint A) More restorable, and B) Tougher, stands up to chips, weathering better. Most OEM paint that people thing needs to be resprayed is actually many times very restorable with a good cutting, polishing, and sealing job with proper materials. __________ Version 3.02 - Driven like it's supposed to be!
