steps:
1)unbolt cladding
2)clean cladding with a degreaser
3)sand it with a fine sander, and fill the one small scratch in it with a putty/bondo
4) soft coat, dry 10 min
5)heavier coat, dry 20 min
6) full coat, dry completely
7) clearcoat soft coat, dry 15 min
8) clear coat final coat, dry completely
9) paint torx bolts with a white paint
10) bolt back up

i think thats my goal... thats what i will be doing Jan 8th... my calender is packed with crap for my car until i start school the 20th of jan.
Sounds good, I would do a search though and make sure you like the final result of this. I debated about painting my cladding for the longest time, I also debating about chroming my torque screws in the cladding, but at the end of the day after looking at photo after photo of VX's with all the different option I was thinking on, the cladding still looks the best when it is freshly washed and treated with Back to Black or armor all or something similar. I am pretty sure the different colored screws you will end up not liking after a while, but you never know.
