Jim, FWIW, the ceramic may be tougher but it will still stain. And most people who look under the hood don't know any better anyways. I'm into the realism, so if I had an ERA I'd probably lean toward the three can set-up. But, again, most average Joes wouldn't notice this little detail.

I don't know about that. At my last show I had four different people come up to me and say that their favorite part of the car was the little Girling decal on the black can under the hood.

You were obviously not being surrounded by average Joes then.
