I did mine and it was teh easiest diy i ever did . First mask off the moldings with automotive tape (i didnt even need newspapers cuz my tape was wide!). Then sand down the moldings with sandpaper (2000 grit). Wash the moldings with water or rubbing alcohol. Then make sure the surface is dry before applying the adhesion promoter (primer). Apply a first coat of primer. Wait 2 minutes and do a second coat. Wait 4-5 minutes after the 2nd coat of primer and apply a light coat of your Heather mist spray. Wait 15 minutes and apply a 2nd coat (medium coat). Repeat the last step and Spray a total of 4-5 coats depending on how the moldings appear. After the last coat of color spray, wait 30-40 minutes before applying the clear coat. I put a total of 2 coats of clear coat.

oh yah and you can get the factory paint (matches exactly!) from www.paintscratch.com . To get the factory paint code look on the side of your door and there should be a sticker that will tell u.
