Pulled off door moldings and sprayed the antenna, front bumper, grille, headlight surrounds, fender flares, rockers, rear bumper, a portion of the rear quarter panels, lift gate handle, and lift gate light bar with bed liner. That was a long 2 days worth of work. Thank god it was 65* in the middle of January.

I really like that. Nice job.
BTW, Goo-Gone or something like it will help a lot with the tape from the side moldings.

Yeah... I have like 3 different adhesive removers and they all suck. Some goof off, some stuff in an aerosol can that's iffy on whether or not it'll ruin paint, and goo gone. None of it makes life easy. I literally spent 4 hours pulling that bull**** off of the rockers. I just left the stuff that wasn't going to be painted on there to do at a later date. I have a feeling that will be a while since it was such a PITA.

Thanks for the suggestion though haha
