    "usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

    Although I'm sure its not 100% factory correct, I love the SEM Trim Black paint.  It sprays really well for a spray can paint.  If it's not a 100% resto you're doing than its the way to go.

    I orginally painted mine with black base coat and a semi-gloss clear coat out of a paint gun.  However I was unhappy with how it came out and ended up re-painting it with the Trim Black.

    Factory used a Suede finish.  Hard to find now, but there's some out there.

    The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

    Happy with the result.
