I practiced trim removal

Chad,

Thanks for the response. It's good to get insights from someone that's been there and done that.
I spent some time this weekend practicing at a near-by pick n pull and I'm feeling pretty confident about getting almost everything off and back on - even the drip rails. The trim at the door bottom has a few bolts and then seems to just pop off leaving the clips on the car and sliding out to the rear from the front. I'm not sure about the short pieces in front and behind the door - do they just pop off and on?
The rear door handles are easy but I don't see how to disconnect the lock mechanisms on the front. Did you take yours off and have any tips?

If the trim will polish, I'm looking into powder coating it clear. If it doesn't polish, I'm thinking of powder coating it black. Either way, it all needs to come off. The car is original white 737 single stage. I've not decided about going back single stage, updating to base - clear coat, or maybe going to one of the diamond or pearl whites. I think I'll go back to original wheel color by sand blast and powder coat unless I go to larger rims and lower profile tires.

Charles
