Terminology Q: "respray"
Sadly, there is no de facto application of this term. Resprays are largely
ad hoc. That said, I interpret the word (or action) to be the typical:
light sanding, if any, combined with as little trim removal as possible and
masking tape around the remaining bits.
I think we should relegate the words use to item C and come up with new
terms and definitions. Any ideas?
