The paint looks amazing (maybe you should give some of the guys at the shop I work at some pointers. Especially on how to properly tape everything before painting. We have a nickname for our painters Over spray artist!!lol). Do you paint and or airbrush a lot?

My guess is I'll keep it on the road until I get the first dent or sratch and then look out. I dont get to do alot of airbrushing but I do paint alot. I paint mostly semi's. Thanks for all the good comments.

what did you do on the trim pcs around the windows to get them back to black? The vinyl on mine is peeling off and the chrome is shining thru.

Trim on door windows is removable by taking the bottom rubber off first and then removing the top pieces - they just pop off, then I usually sand them down and repaint them with a semi-gloss black. They really do come off easy, I usually roll the window down and prize them right off. Thanks for asking.
