No soap, denatured alcohol

Paint the just the face of the 1/4 panel, use the horizontal feature line possible for a break. Less noticeable if you stay off the top, then hope it blends well with the door.

Whatever the body color is. It’s the same for wheel wells, trunk and engine bay.

Looks good

I haven’t used that system. I use 3m but I use a product called k211. It’s what we use on the production line. If you use that system just make sure you are using the polish that corresponds with the pad.

https://www.autogeek.net/rupes-6-inch-foam-pads-6-pack.html I like useing mainly the blue and green pad. 3000 grit wet sanding followed up by the blue pad may be over kill. Try skipping that step and try out the blue pad followed by the green, then yellow.

No problem

Beautiful work. Wish you were closer, I'd have ya do all my stainless trim.

Here is what it looks like with the anodizing stripped off. We're working on the same thing. I took mine to a plateing company near me. I'll polish them, then send them off to get replated. Not bad for $20.

Anodized aluminum that has been brite dipped.
