Should be aluminum, tough to make paint stick. Prime with zinc cromate primer, or a caustic etching primer, same as you would for aluminum bonnet or doors.

They are special T-bolts, #10-32 thread and small rectangular head with a spring wire loop to hold them in place, 5 on each side. If you buy the trim strips from Moss or V.B. I think the fasterner kit should be included. The trim strip goes close to rear wheel opening and leaves the front bolt in the front fender exposed For the splash panel). If you currently have hex head screws in the bottom of the sills you may have to change them to Fillister head or Cheese head screws, to fit inside the trim strip. A possible alternative is to install some pop rivets and remove the screws.

Thanks to Leo Werberg for the pictures.
