Trunk
Most challenging part was trying to get rid of all the polish/wax residue off all the little nooks and crannies. So many of them!
To summarize, paint was easy to work with but very easily marred. Even wiping the paint with my finger (tested for fun) will cause it to mar.
Anyhow, thanks for viewing.
