Re: Arghh!

And when you own your own Spitfire you can paint it in an authentic finish.

A couple years ago I visited the Spitfire and Hurricane Museum in Manston. When I walked in one of the gentlemen there asked if I'd like to buy a Spitfire. (I trusted that he wasn't talking about a Triumph.)

I said "sure, will you take a credit card?"

Needless to say I'm not painting anything, in authentic colors or otherwise.
