I'm actually outside redoing it. A bird shat on my paint and when I wiped it off it dyed my black paint white.
I knew I didn't apply enough clear.
The same bird shat on my left rear and it dripped onto my fuel door. The fuel door is still perfect, though. Since I did the fuel door last I figure I got the painting thing down enough that I was able to do it with Mad Skillz.

The bumper and trim paint will scratch off the metal trim easily, because it is actually intended to be used on rubber, not metal. For the windshield trim, plain old paint will stick the best. Of course, it helps to sand it well first.
Overall, good way to solve those pesky little issues, on a budget.

It'll stick to metal, but it is designed to remain soft and flexible enough to not peel when applied to rubber or plastic, which will flex. This softness is why it will scratch easily when applied to metal.
