Stacy, and others with more experience with painting spiders,

What is the collective wisdom about what should be taken off before 
having a car painted.  In other words, what constitutes "all of the 
trim?"  And of equal importance, what should I do about the convertible 
top?  Should I remove it (is that event possible)?  If not, how do I 
get paint underneath the top in the back?  Being able to "cover the 
cracks" is important since I am changing colors.

Any other tips or hints from seasoned veterans who have prepared 
spiders for the paint shop before?  The spider in question is currently 
blue and I am painting it back to its original color which was Farina 
White (AR 008).  Finally, what is the best source for getting paint 
that matches the AR 008 color?

TIA,  --jim
