The original paint is in fantastic shape, as is the roof, but hood and passenger fender have a "close" matched color.

Thanks Ben,
I'm actually in your city right now. Going to hang out tomorrow and see a little of Couer d' Alene then head to my sisters in Boise first thing Wednesday morning.
That’s great! This the best time of year to visit and if you want an easy hike with lake views, check out Tubbs Hill.

Thanks, I appreciate it. We're trying to get a feel for the area, possible move someday and visit some friends.

Nice 40! One of my favorite colors. Looks like my first one I had in college back in the early 90s. I’m a mustard guy now. I saw this one posted, then about a month later it was posted again. I was really surprised no one had picked it up. My current 40 is a CA model and I was tempted to reach out. Glad you got it...now I don’t I have to think about it!
what products did you use on the paint?

Time to break open the wallet
I used some inexpensive Mequire's Cleaner Wax for now.....just a quick easy polish to see if the stock paint was holding up. I'll do the rest in the next few weeks. However, the hood and the passenger fender have been repainted, and not very well. I may get those redone in the future to match what's existing.

I wish I had the garage space/time to tackle something like that. Maybe someday. BTW, Coeur d' Alene was beautiful, went out to Tubbs Hill like you mentioned and we ate at Meltz....grilled cheese Cubano - Off the charts good!
