Painting tips...

[68blackbird]

I’m at that point in the project where the paint is getting close. When I did the ’59 last year, I painted with cab on frame, doors on. As the pics show, I did the cab in 2 stages because I’m a short guy, 5’ 6”. Did the roof by laying board across front fenders to get an even spray, then re-masked and painted the rest. Really don’t want to go the route this time. I was thinking about doing this one, cab off frame, doors on. While its in primer, my thinking would be easier to get doors aligned and not scratched up. Does this sound feasible? What kind of issues will arise doing it this way, like getting cab back on frame, how long I have to wait after paint to use hoist to get cab back on? Paint bed on or off frame. I know to do fenders separate. Any other advice is much appreciated, thanks, Kel
