Subject: faded paint below trunk

   Date: (none)





I recently bought a red '91 B pkg with 18K miles.  The car was

garaged at previous owner's home & parked under a canopy at their

place of work.  The paint looks show-room new in most places.  However, it

is noticeably faded on that piece of plastic that sits between the

brake lights.  I think I noticed this on other Miatas that I looked

at.  Does anyone know of a solution for this?  Is removing & painting

this piece feasible?  This car was in a minor wreck before I owned

it.  A rear-end bump at a toll booth - damage in the < $300 range

and I don't think the body part in question was affected.



Any ideas?



Thanks,

Adam
