I'm doing a rotisserie resto-mod project on a '61 Fairlane (2dr, full-size Ford). Logistically I need to first fully paint (sealer/base/CC) the following items:
Firewall, under-side hood, under-side decklid, back-side of doors, door jambs, inner trunk. I'll be reinstalling doors, hood, decklid before sealer/base/CC on the entire body. Firewall, door jambs, inner trunk will be moderately oversprayed onto body surface. I'm planning on using sealer/base/CC with appropriate wait times.
My question(s) is in regard to final spraying of the body which may be months after the firewall, door jambs and inner trunk. I can use foam tape or tube tape in all the many jambs but when I do sealer/base/CC on the body:
1. How do I get adhesion to the small finished exposed jamb edges at the foam tape? I could lightly sand those area with maybe 800 but obviously I'd be sanding a bit of finished CC jamb area that won't be hit in this final spray.
2. Won't the jamb body spray edges be prone to showing a fine line of sealer color? (I will be cutting the body clear with 1000 before buff).
This should be very common in body shops where panels are sprayed in base/CC and jambs are not being painted. I just couldn't find anywhere that this has been discussed. Might there be an adhesion promoter product that is used in this case? Thanks so much. (my first post to this great forum). ...Jim
