500 degree asphalt & water don't mix well at all...
If I were you, I'd go back and grab all the trim clips I could from the Newport and New Yorker. You'll be glad you did when you're putting your trim back on after paint.
I was thinking about that, but I was disappointed that the lower trim is different and use different clips than the 300, and that is what I actually need a couple of clips for.
Dang, I wish I'd have known about this yard earlier! I just drove back to Georgia from Toledo for Thanksgiving!
But I'll work it into my plans for the next visit back up there.
