RE: back in Mars red (well, orange actually)

[drew <drew@dyermaker.cs.uoguelph.ca>]

hope for my Mars Red Roc is a trip to the body shop - there've been too
many partial resprays in her past to expect her to come out as one colour
again.  If it could make that orange hood red again, though, it wouldn't
stand out quite so much in a crowded parking lot... :)
