JB, of course it's your project and you can toss me off the bus at any point.. (pun intended!)

But if the signatures and graffiti are that special then they should be made to stand out, someone else suggested that the panel color difference be left alone to call attention to that spot and make it as special as it should be..

Like I said, just my 2 cents.. ol' buddy ol' pal... sorry to hear of all this trouble and hope it passes easily.
