Sorry for no update. I have actually run into a bit of a wall (though I am almost over it). In a grueling attempt to save the original paint, I messed it up. I spent three days very carefully removing the old decals that had turned brittle and slid around. After that I began touching up the paint with a extremely similar color from toyota and then blending it into the surrounding paint via wet sanding and then buffing. On maybe my twentieth chip I sanded through a large patch of the original paint down to the primer. This paint is surprisingly thin... No worries, it is in the process of being repainted now.
Hang in there.

Let us know if you need help!
