Hi,

Some folks have very good luck with using a pneumatic rivet gun for the
job. It's a lot less exspensive to buy the tool that it is to repaint both
your dors. But the tool will get you consistantly installed rivets and
reduce the chance that you'll go slip-POP-$#!^ with the inexpesive pop
rivet tools.

I got this tip from a pro that did a lot of top installs.

If you want to use the inexspensive tool, make sure to mask around the
holes to _reduce_ the chance of a grazing blow (and resultant scratch) to
the paint.
