My friend and i will be painting my xj soon and wonder how difficult it is to properly paint the door jams? Im going from the factory charcoal gold to red so leaving them factory would look like crap. Any advise guys? Thanks!

Doors off will make for better results and yes a good tape job is very important. As big of a pain as it may be taping is less work than cleaning overspray.

The paint dept. at HomeDepot or other stores sell plastic sheet that will cover larger areas. I used Norton Masking Plastic when I painted my car. It's great stuff because paint won't flake off like regular plastic.

Good people there at autobodystore too. I've bought lots of stuff from Len.
