Drilling the holes is PESKY to say the least --
You will need a very good metal cutting drill bit -- start SMALL in terms of size of drill bit and then bore it out to the screw size you need. Make sure you drill far away from the headunit as metal shards will fly everywhere.
you'll also probably need to find longer screws as you'll find out shortly -- once you drill these new holes, the existing OEM or pioneer screws aren't long enough -- make sure you have some longer ones.

The trim ring I used was from a DD radio. I think it may have been an Eclipse, but I'm not certain. I just grabbed one from out in the shop, but ANY DD trim ring will do. Just go to a local shop and they should have plenty sitting around from installs where they didn't use them.
EDIT: Now I see why you painted it. You cut the trim ring to fit inside the opening instead of form the back. That works for your radio, but most DD have a motorized face and trying to make it flush like that would probably cause clearance issues with the face.
Here's a couple of pics of mine. It literally took me 5 minutes to do this.
