I'm doing the final sanding (up to 400) in preparation of laying the sealer/base/clear on my 70 Corvette. I'm trying to plan the timing of doing this since there are time windows for each step. Currently the doors, hood and T-Tops are off and I've been prepping them separately. My color, Ontario Orange, is a semi-metallic so I know I need to put everthing back on before spraying the base for consistency.
How would you suggest painting the jambs before I reassemble? I've seen some videos where they don't do any taping. They just spray the jams and some overspray gets on the fenders and quarters. I guess that's OK in the sense that they are going to be sprayed over, but what about the clear? If you base and clear the jambs, and some clear overspray gets on the fenders/quarters, is that a problem to lay base over the clear when you're painting the rest of the car? On the other hand, I could tape it off, but then I guess you have a hard line. Does that go away with the cut and buff?
