Tip Refinishing External metal trim

Guys, A few years ago I took the wheel moldings off of of the regal during a repaint to dress them up. At the time I used the SEM trim paint which matched well. Unfortunately rocks and road grit took their toll on the trim paint on the moldings making it look worse than before I started. So I've tried something new we'll see how it holds up. I've powder coated the wheel moldings under the theory that the powder is more chip resistant.

For those of you refinishing external metal trim. Eastwood Satin black powder over a coat of semi-gloss black is a pretty good approximation of the external trim finish.
