Awesome Jim, that's exactly the type of info I need. Off to Lowe's shortly to see what shades of blue Rustoleum they have.

Thanks much.

When done use a sanding block on the letters and the paint will come off nicely. I painted my '03 when I bought it in '06 and they still look good. Lowe's has a blue that is almost a match for the Electron Blue. Good luck!!
