<VV> Re: touch up paint

[J R Read_HML]

The back of the gas door or under the sill plate are places to get to some 
pretty decent paint for color match purposes.  Not uncommon to remove the 
gas door and take it to the paint store - especially if working on an 
inoperative car.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.
