I'm here.  We traveled a bit to the French West Indies (got to practice French for a while).  Then my wife had some surgery and I didn't have the time to get into the Forum too much.  I lurked a bit but didn't post.  In fact, I also let my flog sit idle for a bit.  But, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things now. 

I still wonder about this Paintmaster word.  I think I'll call a body shop (casa de lanternagem) and ask them if they use the word.
