If you really need it in a specific paint job so bad you'd rather see it banished back to waste if it's not, you are a fool. It'll be the same candy bar in a different wrapper, that's all the paint really is. Paint is easily removed and replaced with an application of cash. Doyle has dumped gobs of his personal money into this. How much have you paid to think you're owed something from this? And you're also wrong about it being "your last chance", there's another PA in Texas waiting for a brilliant mind such as yourself to dump money into so you can have your little way. Two more are in Mexico. There's a bunch of other stuff running around in Warbonnet paint. Doyle made this happen and footed the bill, so let him have it his way. He won't last forever, and we'll be left with a working PA that can be repainted and reconfigured any way the mind can imagine. I do believe it's personalities and statements like "if it's not exactly the way it was in every aspect of its regular service now in 2014, might as well scrap it!" that make it hard to drum up interest in these kinds of things. I've put in time on 4449, 190, and 197 in various amounts. I rarely see people with your kind of mindset contributing ANYTHING to make their wants happen, but by god they'll be there to bash it when it's done.
