coach paintings, and my conversation with owner Socorro

[George Lowry]

Tom & Ron,

Navarro's use R-M Diamint paint, base coat/clear coat method. Works
great and lasts. I highly recommend them. And Algodones is a nice
little town. My wife walked all over town by herself and never felt
threatened, either day or night. She felt safer in Algodones than in
Sacramento, CA.

Hope this helps,

George Lowry
