A friend was in a similar boat with his 3.8 E-type Jag.

It has just come back from a bare metal respray at the panel beaters and looked a million dollars. He’d parked it in a public car park for 5 minutes and when he was coming back to the right hand side of the car he saw a guy hovering around the left hand side of it. The guy sees my friend coming, says “nice car, mate” and wanders off. When my mate gets back to work he parks and walks around the left hand side to see that the new paint has been keyed back to bare metal. And he strongly suspects that the “nice car, mate” guy did it.

I’ll stop and gawk at really nice cars in car parks, etc but no way known would I damage one. If the owner is there I'll try to chat with them, just so they know that I'm a true enthusiast (puts their mind at ease).

OzJAv – I’ve always thought that flat black looks good on a car, even before the movie “Deathproof”. It must get hot in summer (coming from an owner of 2 black cars). Your one is almost camouflaged from vandals.
