Yeah im almost there. It takes quite a bit more work for the red, however not as many problems as doing a metallic color.

looks really good

Thanks :)

Yes... but its already cleaned up. Blades are fun! And its faster than taping and worrying about taping errors... as far as the window trim, im thinking of a new one... but havent figured out how to take this one out with out damaging it. If i can manage to not damage it, then ill fix it b4 buing a new one.

BTW, does any one know where i can find the chrome mouldings that goes around the windows? I messed mine up as i was trying to paint them black. I bent them pretty bad accidentally, as my hands are not good for gentil things. Thanks.

if your talking about the chrome molding that runs along top of the windows than you need new ones from honda thats like 80+$ each..i just ordered new ones when i painted my car.
reason im saying honda is because they dont sell just the clips that break..it sucks.
