Body panels - armor all?

Looks as though the cladding will always be a big issue since it such a big part of the VX and weathered cladding can be UGLY. When some idiots call the VX ugly I think thery're refering to the cladding. I'm considering painting mine in a couple years (when it's paid off) but then I'll have to worry about door dings, scratches, and chips. I'd appreciate feedback on those of you that have painted it.

If your looking to turn your graying plastic back to black, use heat. Either a heat gun or a propane torch. Keep the flames 6-8" away and fan it back and forth. The plastic will turn black as it warms up.

This works, I kid you not!

(P.S.- I am not responsible for any damage done due to people NOT reading the 6"-8" rule)
