here it is not bad for $20! Thanks again to Steve. I removed the old paint with some acetone, used 600 grit on the trim to get all the paint off as well. I will do my final sanding when everything is dry. I was going to try and remove the glass plug but I did not want to risk breaking it. I wanted to get the old silicone off because of the blue tint it had from fish meds
