Need some advice on painting the cab and doors of the truck
The 72 Suburban project is way behind me and i am working hard again on my 38 Chevy truck.
My project is coming along nice but i need some advice. This is how far i am. www.arnoldscustoms.com As I am in the process of painting my truck but I am running in to some questions. The truck will be painted in two tone like this. Test panel I can not make up my mind on how to paint the inside of the cab and doors. Should I do that two tone also? But I want the dash to be the dark brown metallic, because I don't want that to be the lighter color. I am planning on doing the interior in a creme leather. Another thing is, i was planning on painting the inside of the cab and doors first. After that put the doors in the cab and paint the outside at once. The problem with this is, I have no place on the rocker to tape off between in and outside paint. A few pics of the door jambs, and the rocker. It would be possible to leave the doors out of the cab and paint the inside and outside in one go. I could place the doors on stands just behind the cab to make sure i paint the cab and the doors the same way. I hope someone can help me in the right direction.

You can try some soft edge foam to tape the inside of the doors and keep the over spray out and it leaves a soft line instead of a hard tape line. 3M makes it in two sizes I think I bought a box a long time ago and still have it and it works great for me. the foam tape is sticky and goes on as easy or easier than tape does.

I have that foam, but on the rocker it will still be difficult to get it so hat it won't be visible after polishing.
I think i am going to paint the doors outside the cab and do the interior one color, but than the question remains where to separate the two colors.
