    Re: OK...Here You Go, Gregster...

    "Underbody heat shields & various mounting bracket"
    3 for originality
    3 for condition

    I wouldn't paint then so much as with a black spray bomb. BUT, lightly sandblasted metal has a similar texture and color as grey phosphate and with a little "tinting" to darken it and then lightly oiled I'm pretty sure I could get them to pass in this area. It's almost worth the challenge now. Even if "something" was detected the point hit would be less that if they were obviously painted.

    I wouldn't try this on something easily accessible though like the hood latches. Well I might but what's the point? ...phosphating is soooo easy to do.

              Tell Dickie it is unethical to use "prior knowledge" in judging...He should give you full credit if he knows from the TDB your shields are not phosphated.
