Thank you all for websites.......

So need some advice Monday I'm going to be starting to restore all my exterior trim but not sure which way to go about it or which is the best way. I'm thinking best way is to tape and cover car ,strip trim down to bone and spray. If you have advice , pictures or videos please share.
