Got that trim ring back in and then scratched the darn paint trying to put a piece of trim on.
I wonder if I woke up any neighbors swearing ?
↑ All sanded and ready for another shot.
↑ Found the paper towel roll was almost the same size as the trim ring, so I used it as a masking device when I resprayed.
↑ Not too bad, got the lower moldings on but need 3 hands so I don't scratch the fresh paint to get the door ones on.
They are held on by those silver retainers and have to be held in place as you tighten them.
Got a bunch of trim stuff ready to go back together.
↨ Got the chrome Trim back on the package tray after painting it
↨ started restretching the vinyl and regluing it on the passenger side kick panel.
↑ Got all the edges done last night, should be good to install.
The emblem was loose and badly corroded, so I took it off to clean and polish it.
I have been cleaning up the paint (what's left of it), got the hood and headlight trim rings to do still.
Phil, I'm going to warn you - the Rustoleum 2X stuff does not dry and stick well. It also, as you've found, scratches really easy. I painted my hood scoop with it last summer, and put it on a shelf. The paint never seemed to cure. I did an internet search and found that I was not the only one experiencing this issue.
Also, I hate writing a resume. I hope it works out for me though. They have four positions I am qualified for. A couple of them are a pretty significant pay raise.

The bottom of the package tray reacted with it and stayed tacky for about a week.
All the other surfaces got sealed 1st and seemed to dry normally.
But it does scratch easily.
Was a free can of paint in my late buddy's garage that I have been cleaning out.
I know not to buy that kind now,
I had painted a bunch of my trim pieces with it, and decided to switch to Rustoleum's Trim and Bumper paint. The 2X came off really easy when I switched.
The trim and bumper is solid!
I spent the night getting my resume all polished up, then had my friend go over it. She is a pro at resume writing. She says it looks good.... so, we'll see! I applied for two positions, same company.
I have to keep reminding myself that nobody will see it after the door panel is on.
