   After noting the initial ebay auction, I wondered what became of this 'tron.  Glad to find out that Streetly did some work on it.  I'm sure its "bark" is now better than its "bite" (and it surely BITES).  It's still a bit scary.  Faux Italian marble would look better.
   I'm now a bit more motivated to get #1221 properly re-finished.

How many coats of white paint would it take to cover this up?

By "professional" artist, I assume he means that the person got paid to
do this to the tron.
