lightly scuff with a scotch pad and wipe with wax and grease remover were your gonna paint. reason for scotch pad is so the paint has some bite and won't peel. 2nd is to remove any armorall or whatever maybe on the trim. if theres some on there it will fish eye and look like crap.

What kind of Clear coat did you use? I'm using krylon fusion satin black and wherever I put my clearcoat, it just winds up looking like white fog.

I used Duplicolor bumper coating and although it looked great at first it only lasted about a year before it looked like crap again.

IMHO the XJ's look better without the side moldings, I took mine off after the tape started failing. I still have all but the left front molding if anyones looking for replacements, PM me.
