I've had my worn original type spare in my 64 Coupe DeVille forever, but with the new (well unused and only 5 year old) spare from the last parts car this was a simple upgrade and a perfect example if why I got into the parts car side of things.

Here are a few pictures of the new spare and the original:

There was discussion on the CLC Forum about the Bill Hirsch vs Seymour Cadillac Blue and I ordered 3 cans of the Seymour paint and did a side by side paint test today in nice sunny, low humidity, no wind weather using both paints.

Just a quick personal observation before heading in for the night. I was browsing through this month's Hemmings Motor news and knew there were companies that would repair and polish stainless trim but I counted 18 companies spread all over the US...several in FL. ...up east, out west.  I wanted to list a couple in our Help and/or Parts Suppliers page but don't have a clue which companies are the good ones and which ones are those you want to steer clear of?
