Unless you feel like debadging it (I spent some quality time with the heat gun after that one), tape is your best friend on any Chrysler product (or 90% of the cars on the market, for that matter).
I've done a few stratuses before with my PC, so I have a basic idea of the body lines and where to watch for already. Just have to be even more careful than normal with the rotary! I'm more scared of the black paint for my first time than anything else; but I suppose I can always fix it with the PC if I need to.

And I also always tape off trim and badges when I'm working around them with any machine, ever since I managed to rip one off with the PC at speed 6
