Re: [Amc-list] I need left and right compartment panels for Rebel Wagon

When I was scrounging Hornet parts (similar chronic foamed plastic 
problems) I found a curious thing: black plastic was often in very good 
shape, while all lighter colors fared really poorly.

I painted BLACK parts WHITE! with SEM stuff. I did the whole process, 
garage-floor degreaser, scrubbing, the SEM vinyl or plastic cleaner, the 
SEM prep, SEM color, recommended application, etc. Years later stillooks 
fine and decently scuff proof too (that surprised me).

I think the carbon used as color in older stuff stops UV damage a few 
molecules in. Lots of modern black color (from pens to paints) is no 
longer carbon, but mixed dyes and don't last as well.
