If you really want that candy apple red & silver paint,remember what Albuq f1
said about the roof so why not paint it red & make the roof silver & that
will keep the heat out too.That panel is beautiful now i see where you
got your idea from.Good luck on whatever you choose i am sure that
it will be beautiful,keep the pictures coming.What a bunch of talented
artists we have here
