Hi Lloyd,
Unfortunately, I think the piece would have to be sans any paint or
primer as this would not only add some labor for the guys but also add a
confounding variable. I agree, as it stands, replacing acrylic panels as it
stands now doesn't make a whole lot of sense due to early failure of the new
panels. I think this whole thing would change if we could actually restore
them, especially ON the car.
