It already has my friend.
I don't think mine will end until the M5 replaces my car.

Thank you Vlad, as I said I'm not done since the finish isn't quite as glossy as I wanted, but I learned a lot!!! I think I am going to go with metallic clear caot the next round to give it the extra "pop"

Looks good Johnny boy!
So you actually removed the trim and painted it? or did you mask the car?

I took it off, seemed much more time consuming to mask and paint so I just removed it and the grilles and started painting. That is my tip: Better to remove the trim and paint farther away from your car to ensure no overspray.
