Right, i have it from the horses mouth that the tri's on the original p3 were paint, Ken Tarallo confirmed this earlier this year for me.I use both paint and stickers, my p3 pic has stickers on it the P6's and P7 have paint.I can do either to suit the customers wishes.Personally i like the stickers on a p3 and p4 and you can get the tri damage just as well with stickers as you can with paint so i dabble with both.The P6 damaged tri is easier to do with paint and you can match the colour better to the original.i do sand the holes but looking at the pics there is a small amount of paint dust on the back of a few of the holes did'nt notice that, thanks <img src=\"http://forums.NIGHTOWLpro.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
