The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop A few more interoir paint questions...

I am planning on painting the inside of my '51 in a few weeks and have a few questions for you paint wise people. OK, first question, do the inside of the doors get painted the interior color? If so, where does the interior color end, and the outside body color begin?

And question #2: what color was the seat frame originally? Was it the interior color, dark brown like the steering column, or just black? (I have an original frame and it is black, but it is not original to the truck). Man, what would I do without you all guess I'd have to do some in depth reasearch of my own P.S. I am not responsible for any misspelled words in my posts :rolleyes:

Yes, the interior of the doors get the interior color, and I took the exterior color to the same point as the line you put on the picture. But I have to point out, does it really matter? What I mean is, that entire area will be covered by the black sponge rubber door gasket, so there is no way of really telling how an original truck was painted. So I figured exterior color should go around the door edge and disappear under the gasket, and interior color start some place under the gasket.
As for the seat frame, I did mine in interior color, and believe that is correct.

Brian's correct on both counts. From what I've been able to determine,the cabs were assembled,including doors,the interiors were painted with the doors open,and then the doors shut and the exterior painted.

Thanks for the assistance
