Black paint does not cooperate very well.

Nice!

I do most of my auto parts shopping at Advance Auto Parts as they're closest, but in terms of small stores, O'Reilly can't be beat in their diecast selection. Dollar General seems to have dropped Matchbox and cut back on Hot Wheels here locally after most of the stores remodeled, so looks like O'Reilly may be becoming a regular haunt for me--but I haven't been in my nearest one once.
