I believe Spencer means interior panels.

Sure; it won't be permanent, though. Check out AK-Interactive, Mig Products, True Earth. These companies make weathering pigments.

When did color fall out of favor?

And the equivalent amount, in model paint, runs for about $540/gal. -
Gee, that reads like an ad for Del Webb.

That's a cool car. You can slide the steering wheel from one side to the other depending on traffic conditions. -
The should've attempted a bank heist. The food in a fed lockup is much better than at a state pen. They could even special order honey buns from the commissary. A guy I know did a two year stretch at Sandstone. He said that the cable TV service was better than back home.

From what I see in that photo, it's taken root. Could be a canker sore, though -

Mobile sustainable and locally sourced organic farming is now available for those ecologically concerned individuals on the go. -

Japanese car manufacturers also were latecomers to the Blobmobile sweepstakes, starting to round body lines in 1998-99 as did GM. You would think that, with pervasiveness of the egg-like design of most cars in recent years, DIY car coloring kits from PAAS would be available to owners who decided white wasn't cutting it anymore. Then, there are those who prefer a textured, natural look -
I had to take a bunch of them pre- and post-surgery. It wasn't too bad. Then again, my left side had major nerve damage as a result of my neck injury and I couldn't feel anything anyway.

Awww C'mon!! Really??

Getting a real job would be the first way that comes to mind. Running a three card monte game in Times Square and relieving tourists of the burden of carrying around all that mad money is a close second. Selling parted out model kits on an online auction site doesn't guarantee a steady source of simoleons. -

Blame Ford Europe for starting the Blobmobile trend when it introduced the Sierra in 1982. FoMoCo in the U.S. followed suit with the Tempo/Topaz tag team duo for the 1984 model year. GM didn't jump on the bandwagon until 1991, with the redesigned Caprice. I owned a Taurus only because I got it super cheap. Major issue was the rear strut towers rusting out and turning the car into a tail dragger when least expected after hitting a New York pothole. -

I ended up using the jelled Liquid Plumber because the E-O didn't do a thing. The LP has a higher lye content than the E-O. After all, you are trying to clear hairballs from your shower/bath tub drain. -

Other than the steel wool leaving the body with a smooth, matt finish, no pitting or scarring. -

Get another kit. Nah, just kidding, man. I had the same problem painting an AMT '70 Super Bee. I also used Rustoleum primer and Gloss Black and wanted to repaint. I ended up using Liquid Plumber and scrubbed the stuff off with steel wool. Took a while; but, it finally came off. -

There's no such thing as a non-conformist. In order to be accepted by your supposedly like-minded peers within your social circle, you have to follow certain standards in behavior which are specific to that particular group. In short, you are required to conform. -
That's not mine. It's reference photo from a Japanese site. The P38 I had was purchased in Germany in 1982 in a department store in Wurzburg. I paid 15 bucks for it. The plastic on mine was a satin blue-black color. I sold it about a week later to our unit's XO, for $75 and his month's Class VI liquor and cigarette rations, which went toward the purchase of a used 1981 BMW 520i. The guy I was buying the car from wanted $2300 USD cash, 15 bottles of Jim Beam and 20 Cartons of Marlboros. The real "Art of the Deal".

ABS is also extremely impact resistant, which is why it is used in manufacturing replica weapons which function like their real life counterparts when firing specially designed blank ammo. What I meant when I wrote that they weren't intended to be painted after assembly was that the parts were molded in colors replicating the different materials and finishes found on the actual firearms they were modeled after. The P38 and M1911A1 I had looked like they had blued finishes. .

I blame it on the sledzie.

Editing a quoted comment/post has no effect on the original. It ain't hard to grasp the following: The auto-censor thresholds for this forum are set pretty low. You can't post whatever the hell "BLAH_BLAH_BLAH" was in its original form because it crossed that threshold setting. No human intervention was involved. EOS.

My wife gets grossed out watching Junior and me chow down on Limberger sandwiches. Fmeep the Cat likes Limberger mixed in with his Meow Mix red snapper. Ball & Chain accuses us of animal cruelty, though. Fmeep ignores her, as only cats could. I told the counter guy at the gourmet supermarket downstairs to make me a Limberger and Nova Lox on an everything bagel with red onion. He thought I was nuts. I gave him half of the sandwich and told him to try it. He liked it. This guy makes custom ordered heroes for me. Piled high with multiple meats and all the trimmings. He's the Michelangelo of Sammiches. Once in a while, I'll make an Ed Norton hero. Black Forest ham, Genoa salami, roast beef, pepperoni, prosciutto, gabagool (that's capicola in Brooklynese guidotalian ), provolone separating each layer of meat, shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, capers, hot peppers, oil and vinegar, basil, oregano, salt, ground black pepper and spicy brown mustard loaded on a big loaf of Italian bread. And some kosher garlic dills with cole slaw on the side. Gotta eat healthy, right?

Can't say that their fridges and ranges do. Black, white, stainless and black stainless.
