Thx for the idea to paint by hand ,,
We had moved on from even talking about your trim paint, to talking about the care and the maintenance of all the paint. Particularly on the red blazer that showed you his new trim. Hopefully you don't mind.

For the record, I don't recommend trying to hand paint the lines in your trim. Even if you tape it off, if it's hand painted, the paint will wick under the masking. If you spray it, it won't. I was recommending hand polishing of the body paint rather than machine polishing, hence "by hand" was mentioned. However, if you want to do it that way in order to involve your granddaughter in fixing up your truck, then maybe that eclipses other considerations. Having her help may be the most important thing.
