Metal Trim

What kind of paint do I use to get that trim (you know the trim I am talking about... the stuff around the windshield). How do you guys paint it... I don't think a spray gun would work because getting the stuff off is a PITA.

And using a paint brush won't leave that "smooth" look will it? Lemme know

you can also polish it

do a search, there was a tread on it a few months ago.

Polished only looks good IMO with a dark color like black. Otherwise I'd do that
