Hi Guys,

Tom, Noob=Newbie...lol.

Thanks for the info, I looked up some info and found a way to "pull" the finish to cover the areas on light damage. I made my first attempt in the side and it came out pretty well. I, of course, didn't take any before pictures to post, but I had my wife and MIL look at the side and they had a hard time finding the repair, So I'm satisfied. I will take some pic's before I do the second side to post a little later.

I will post the link for the repair info too, as soon as I find where I stuck it in my favorite's, Icon_rolleyes .

Glenn
Happily back in Illinois..not.
