Couple of tips. They make spray cans of plastic prep and also adhesion promotor that can make paint stick to anything including glass if wanted. You may want to get something like this if you plan on trying to do any spray work. Without primer even touch up will peel off after a while. If you are ever going to spray ANYTHING it is safer to remove part from truck. The overspray from some of the paints now can stick to anything even close to you. If the spray is done with mirror on truck you need to cover everything around area (like whole door) for at least three feet. If using duplicolor products they are old school laquer based so their spray only goes the three feet or so and then is mostly harmless but any enamel or newer urethane paint will stick to the whole truck. I have been doing custom paint since the 70's. Be careful what, and where you spray.

Thanks guys: Rustoleum and a touch up brush did the job. Finished it this AM before the sun got too hot. I guess the stalks are not plastic anyway. My mistake. Thanks again. Jim
