Sadly, I don't leave anywhere near Maryland, but as a result of your offer of help, I'm thinking of moving.

Understood.

The surface is probably level enough on both the original and collateral damage.

Thanks, again, Spraygun.

If I'm following you, the small, dull ellipse is really the only area where the clearcoat is burned through. The shiny paint inside and outside the ring are where the...
