I would get in touch with listmember Charles Benett.  he does superb paint
jobs - all by hand!   guaranteed never to rust again.  any color you want, as
long as its brown primer. Charles is operating his VW Van paint shop out of
the metro NY area, usually in the parking lots of K-mart, or wherever they
have a special on rustoleum primer in gallon buckets, and cheap paintbrushes.
"masking tape???  what do i need masking tape for??"
Earl Sheib eat your heart out!!!!!!

(this is an inside joke - only the pa/ny/nj listmembers will get it :<)
