Jim, Never used testors but have done the trim tape many times. I've always dusted with clear first also. Still undecided on paint but have plenty of time. As far as CRS goes, had it for years. My favorite is going into the shop to get something..standing there for 5 min. trying to remember what it was and remembering what it was only when I went back to where I was before I went into the shop. Hey...i'm an old guy...I can get away with that!
