Can't wait for further updates. Specific questions:

1. It appears that you're repainting the body-side molding without removing it. Is this how most Mustangs are repainted, or do most people remove it (which begs the question, is the molding easily removed and re-attached? Also, because it's plastic, will it accept regular steel primer or do you need a special plastic paint?)

2. Bumpers--do they get painted with regular primer and paint, or do you need a special plasticizer additive, or awhole different paint?
