The trim is something I wished the guy didn't remove when my truck was repainted. But that's the beauty of these things. After a few years we start all over lol.
Yes, it is a single stage and I still have a pint of it. I am pretty sure whoever painted it was trying to replicate the factory job down to the fine details including thin and orange peel. I don't know much about painting but mine seems like it might be easy to rough up and paint over it if I choose.

Freedom isn't safe, it requires you to take responsibility for your own life, your own safety, and your own success. It carries with it the possibility of failure and the understanding that you're working without out a safety net. If you give the state the responsibility for any of these you also give up the freedom that accompanies the responsibility.
