I am probably going to follow MARTINSR's method of painting the jams before doing the exterior of the car. He went into great detail to talk about where to mask off the jams of the body shell.

What about the inside of the door? I suppose that I mask the exterior of the door when I paint the inside of the shell. And then assemble the shell onto the car when doing the entire exterior of the car.

But what about the masking of the door when I do the final paint? Any special steps or masking overlaps?


Thanks,

Masking the inside of the door is easy peasy. It is a lip all the way around so you can tape up to that lip real close, the paint on the outside won't wrap around the edge (well a tiny bit) so you won't have a "hard line" there.
