Hi guys to start with a would have to agree black looks great when its clean and waxed
but how much time do you want to spend washing your truck. My 87 Jimmy and my 88 T-bird
were black,lots of work even with repainting every three years. The bird only saw the
light of day in the summer on wednsday evenings and weekends. as for the maroon paint
troubles I was talkin to my sevice manager and his 97 dak is a maroon regular cab and
the paint sounds the same. his is going to be repainted by CC and just a note my 97 SLT
is also being repainted due to a shit load of dust that cant be buffed out.bye for now
Bruce!
