So, when you fix the problem areas, will that be a re-re-re-re-re-do?

Wow, I like it! It looks somewhat close to the real alumalook, like on your door sill pulls. Well, from what I can see in the pictures. Can you post up some higher resolution close up pictures of it? How does the close up finish look, and which brand/paint-code did you use?

Thanks!

I used Dupli-Color Aluminum Chrome DA1684 and primer is Dupli-Color Sandable Primer DAP1692... The Tag on the back of the Aluminum Chrome just says Aluminum. The close up doesnt look so good cause i didnt take my time sanding it, i seen some problem areas this morning so when the weather gets warmer ill redo the entire thing.

FYI, NEVER use Krylon "Crystal Clear Coat" Its anything but Crystal Clear LOL, i used it on a test peice on saturday and sunday and it turned Chrome and Aluminum into a Primer Gray which is not what i wanted lol.
