Cleaned up reynolds wrap for the doors. Turns out the stainless steel was not rusted. It was rust stained from the trim clips that fasten everything to the body. With a little steel wool, 1000-grit sandpaper and elbow grease they clean up pretty well.
Bought a couple of paint pens to try painting the black stripes. the one on right below is from Dupli-COlor. It did not work well at all. The paint flow was not consistent. Sometimes it ran too fast and others times I could not get enough paint at all.
The one on the left is actually a Sharpie. It contains an Oil Based paint The tip of the Sharpie was too wide so I took a razor blade and trimmed it down. You should be able to see the size difference in the second image.
The results were not perfect but I think they look good. I was able to paint 12 lines in about 5 minutes. Wanted to let it dry before finishing it up tomorrow.
