Have a few things to take care of inside before I attack the exterior, but I'm sure I'll be asking some questions as I go.

I'm going to go with a 1/2 Polish exterior. The top section around the windows is going to be painted to match the interior. (Bustle down in the rear, Hood and below in the front.)

I figure I might be able to get it done in a few weekends. Smiler
good luck from greg lee's is ths shiniest

Yes, that is my interior. I will be matching the "Blood Red" as I like to call it on the exterior as well. Getting rid of all the yellow, brown and grey/silver paint on the exterior this summer... Polishing the Bottom up to where the brown starts now, and continuing along the top above the awning rail. The portion that is currently Brown (wood grain vinyl) and a bit higher after I remove the top trim line will be painted and wrapped around to the front under the windshield. The rear will be painted above the bustle around the rear window. Each curved vertical piece and the round section to the roof will both be polished as well.

But I think the polished with the red will tie the interior to the exterior nicely.
