Re: Painting Interior
Dupont veri-prime has more etch but is harder to get as smooth as comoared with the CR series product which is thinner but not near as tough. For interior pieces we use the veri prime. It is also a light color so is easier to cover with your paint color.

Re: Continental Case paint color
True, this is where pictures tell a.thousand words..
i wouldnt think that there would sufficient enough of heat in the rocker covers to.justify repainting them black.. but I could be wrong
ill keep researching. Original pictures are nice so if anyone has some please share!

You are correct though.. Owners manuals are not to trusted on everything.. but they do hold some good info.
