I did mine myself, gotta remove the glass (PITA), which involves removing the rear inside panels, which requires seat and seat belt removal, then loosen the nuts on the glass (11mm), there's some hidden ones-make sure you get them all, then go around the glass where it meets the body on the inside with a scraper to loosen the butyl tape that holds/seals the glass. Once you have them out, lightly scuf the surface with some sand paper and tape off all the glass. Go out and get several cans of high build primer (got mine from Wal-Mart), and some trim paint, start coating the trim with light coats several times a day until all the spots are filled in and smooth (I sanded lightly after every few coats), then remove the tape and look for any overspray that will need to be cleaned off the glass (I used a razor blade), re-tape and spray your top coat(s). The reason you remove the tape and then re-tape is to avoid having a built up tape mark of primer which will show up after removing the tape if you just leave the same taping on there for priming and final coating. You will then need to go to a body part supplier and get some new butyl tape (also called dum-dum) and re-seal the glass, it's best to wait until you're ready to install the new tape before you remove the old stuff so you know where to put it. When installing, leave it as it comes off the roll, don't stretch it out as it will break when tightened down. Have a friend help you line up the glass with the other trim before tightening the glass down and spray around the glass with high pressure water before re-installing the interior to check for leaks as it may take several tries to get the butyl positioned right. Have fun.
