[CAUT] OT- Fighting the Heat

[Ward & Probst, Inc]

Hey Fred,

I can tell you that Solarguard and luaun paneling reduced the inside
temperature of the moving trailer very significantly. If I were replacing a
headliner, I would definitely put some in. We have such swings here- 94Fmax
Thurs to 54Fmax Friday- any passive insulation is a big help.

Hi Dale,
	I'm a little like Guy, though I used oil base enamel to paint the
top  
of my dark blue car white. And then painted the rest of it to match.  
I'm not to bad with a brush, from my days as a house painter <G>. The  
white top did make a pretty big difference. I wonder if you _could_  
take something like Solarguard and manage to attach it to the ceiling  
of a car. Worth a try, when the mercury is hitting 100 out here in  
"Fort Stinking Desert."
