Chuck, your idea worked unbelievably! I used the SEM products, as directed and the results are fan-friggen-tastic! I spent about 40 minutes a side with the tail light frames and prolly 20 minutes total on the marker bezels with 400 wet/dry paper first, used the SEM plastic prep and blasted it with 39193 trim black and I can't describe how well they turned out.
Thanks again for all the replies.
Jim
