Pull the grounds only. That interrupts the circuit. Just be sure to isolate the cable ends in a manner where they won't migrate back towards the post if jostled. -
KKernal replied to the thread 97 white paint/body work question..Mentioned this in the other post but if they paint part of your vehicle with two stage process and leave the rest single stage the difference will be noticeable.

There is an...
