Etlsport,
Well...I took off one of those front torx screws to see how easy it was to paint them. When I went back to install it, there was nothing for it to screw into. So what held it there to begin with? What is the best way to put it back?

You must be talking about the one between the headlight and the hood, a,, the outher ones are real. There is just a floating nut plate that fell down inside when you removed it. I glued mine in, (Did the same thing). Some have cut a small square out of a pop or beer can, poked a hole in it and screwed it back on.
GO BEARS
yep exactly what i did.. i took the cap from a 2 liter bottle, cut it into a small square (feel behind the hole and you will feel that there is two small ridges back there, cut the piece so it just fits between the ridges, then i poked a small hole in it to start the screw through and used that to hold it in place.. worked like a charm
Thanks guys. That is just the type of detail I need to get that bolt back.

I find these ingredients together as a whole clean the cladding pleasingly well: sodium hydroxide, fatty acid(s), Water, amphoteric polymer and a touch of coloring w/perfume. No streaking and no toweling - it is self-drying!
Just ask the bald man with big ear ring. He knows!:yesy:
As soon as I have some time I will paint my cladding.
I'm ready to see the black pop with the silver paint.
You should paint your roof rails and spoiler to match too. ;) Did you ever find a replacement cap for your roof rails? I remember you were missing one.
Once you get this done, we will have to have another meet up so I can see the results....
I still have good luck shining and darkening my cladding with Trime Shine or Trim Detailer. Both of those products do the trick for me...

Hopefully the weather clears up for the weekend. I need to see if there is a ideal temp. for the paint.
Which Endurance Gold? On Meguiar's website, there are two gels listed. One is natural & the other is high gloss. What's the general preference of the Meguiar's users?
It's the high gloss

Not the best weather for painting my cladding this weekend... GRRR...
Just bought some more Dupli-Color Bumper Coating spray, it reads that the temp needs to be from 60-92 F and less than 60% humidity.
I saw some bulldog bumper paint today at pep boys.
