Weekday project
Door handles and the trim on the targa looking a little nasty so I took a couple of hours yesterday to spruce them up.
Nasty:
Roughed up the surface and used this trim black that I found at a paint jobber's:
Masking:
Finished, Pic turned out a bit dark. Looks much better in than it did. No pic of the targa. Deleted it by mistake before I got in the house.
Oh well, too cold to go back outside now. Looks much better though.

Looks like a very good job and fairly easy to accomplish.
Now a question, what sort of masking tape did you use? Is it something special?
And where can you obtain it?
Thanks for your answer . Good looking job too :

I am going to paint the entire car in my garage this summer as it is quite faded.
I also picked up a roll of 18" wide masking paper. It is much easier to work with and has less of a chance of being "wet through" than the newspaper I was used to using.
