The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop paint, apart or assembled

As far as overspray in the door jams, you can do a reverse masking of the door jams to keep out the overspray and soften the hard tape edge. Basically you take 3/4” masking tape and starting from a corner, place the tape on the edge on the jam, about 3/8” back from the body edge and only press on 1/4” from the edge of the tape. The other edge of the tape will stick out past the body edge at first but as you continue masking, the curvature of the jam will naturally roll the other edge parallel to the side of the truck, so the sticky side is facing you. On inside corners where the tape bunches, cut the bunches and overlap them so they match the other tape, then after the other three sides are masked, close the door. It acts like a weatherstripping sealing against the inside of the door and the jam side paint is softened. You can do the same for the hood.
