Side Molding and Trim After Painting or Not?

[df2x4]

You wouldn't happen to have a link for the "Silverado" emblems that go on the inside of the doors?

No unfortunately, and I actually saw a FB post recently about that where someone found a set on eBay for ridiculous money. I think those would be much harder to find.

That's why I'm painting Frank with rattle cans. If I scuff it up getting firewood I can touch it up easily. When Frank retires he will get painted with the Summit Single Stage paint.

Oh well, thanks for trying.

I was thinking about doing that too but, it sounds too much like work - I hate sanding, wearing respirators, and I don't know how to paint

My front clip was rattle canned from black to white last week. Scuffed, wiped, and painted in the garage. Didn't even bother to wet the floor. Came out incredibly well for what it is, certainly not good, but perfectly acceptable.

The Rustoleum Professional paint is really good! I painted my seat brackets with it and they looked like I powder coated them! There are only a few colors though.

Got it in a metallic blue? I've used that stuff in gloss white for something else and, you're right, it is good paint.

No. I only saw solid colors on their website. And not very many either.

That's exactly what we used. Totally by accident, but glad we did.

Found 'em! Part number 15569460. Discontinued, and like I said earlier, stupid money. But here they are if you want them bad enough.

Looks like they use little nuts that cut into the plastic mounting pegs, similar to the corner lenses. Parts 24/25 on this diagram.

I did go back and search through some FB posts as well. One guy mentioned that the pillar emblems I linked earlier are similar size to these, and said he used them on the door panels instead. They're just backed with 3M tape instead of the little mounting pegs.
