There are some good points in this thread, I will ignore the others, since I think no good can come from them.
I am glad someone is offering pre-painted items, I know my previous landlord hated me working on my car, I can't even imagine what he would have done about paint. So a year ago this would have been ideal, if I had a silver car.
I am also glad DemonSVT posted that $35 goes to paint and painting, it is always nice to know where your money is going.
