Some stone chip changes to brown over time (probably only with tar content?)

I applied my stipes after painting one side of the car in Clear over Volvo Silver.

Using very primitive cut and paste on "Paint" on PC ..
I "Slammed " ( I believe is the correct terminology) mine without buying any bits.




Wouldn't last 100 yards on my road ,speed bump et al.

Excellent Bob,

Slamming a Volvo 240 using a computer program is safe and sensible, doing it for real would be a little bit daft :-)

Another lovely day in paradise,

Alan

Slamming is for the VW crew who claim they are "low and slow" aka they can't afford a proper car so get a 1.0 Lupo and slam it with the cheapest JOM coilovers they can get that blow seals in less than a year and then claim it is a style.

Yes Luke. With Volvo 240s the only sensible way to slam the motor car is with Photoshop - the way Bob has :-).
