Good luck jamal. I hear you... sometimes it takes a couple tries to get it right.

HELL NO! I'm not dealing with that until its nice and warm out. Actually, plan is to rip all the plastics off and do them the same way, with high temp paint and clearcoat. B pillars, side mirror trim, trim by the wipers, front and rear badges, and maybe even the grilles. It'll make it look CLEAN, and that is the goal of course.
