Did some painting last night......
Hubcaps were a disaster. I didn't do the correct prep work and zero adhesion was the result. The paint actually appeared to be "beading" on top of the metal like water does on a well waxed car. The good news is that it was the wrong color anyways for the hubcaps (different silver than the trim I found out). I was able to quickly get everything wiped back down with thinner and will start over once I source the correct silver.
The trim pieces I think will work out. No prep issues there. The color is very translucent and I put on 3 coats to finally be able to see some results. The trim pieces do not photograph well due to the color having a lot of blue in it (more than I realized) and the blue tape. I haven't decided if I am going to mist another coat on them yet or not.
Two steps forward and one step back......
