That's cool. Did the previous owner leave any painting material there (like guns, compressors or whatnot)? I'm seriously contemplating painting my 240 all flat black with a matte clearcoat. With professional sprayers and such, it would not look DIY at all. I just know that unless I mask/dissasemble it, it won't be done the way I want it to be done. Keep us informed and good look to your pops!
