Door Jam Pics - 01/22/17 04:36 PM

My paint guy is needing pics of the door jams of a factory 69 RR, or one restored to factory condition, to determine where the color used on the upper steel section of the door panel stops in the jam. Can anyone help me out with pics of door jams, preferably from a pewter interior car?

I sure appreciate any help you all might be able to give me.

Thanks!

Clay

Will a 69 Coronet do? I can get better pictures later today if the weather lets up. Looks like it was painted fairly well on the a-pillar/kick panel area. Pretty good shot of the undercoating as well.

the parting line between the two colors is the attaching holes for the door weatherstrip

As stated above. Also, the inside of the door is masked - my guess is to prevent overspray coming out the window openning, etc.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question, I thought you were asking where the color stopped on the a-pillar from the cowl being sprayed.

the interior Upper Door Frame (UDF) paint was done first (I believe in lacquer, it dried quickly) it was then masked (just the perimeter that mattered) then the exterior of the car was painted - then baked

Hope this is what you wanted. You can see where it was taped off for the different color. The interior color on this car is white.
Not my car but 1 that was on the A12 site. If I get a chance I will get 1 of my car tonight to post. Mine doesn't have the seal on it yet.
The seal covers up the edge of the 2 colors where they meet.

The interior color was painted first, they didn't seem to mask inside at all from what I've found. There will be color in the jambs the front on the main shell... the masking line for the door is under the weatherstrip.

I have no idea if this is factory or done at a later time but my 68 Dart convertible looks to be the opposite. I don't know if convertibles were done different or not. There is definitely white overspray on top of the blue on the bottom of the doors. There is also a lot of white overspray on top of the blue behind the rear convertible panels.



Yellow grease pencil N on center of door between cutouts. Center of door is blue.

I suppose it could have been a factory error. Realized after the body was painted that the upper door frame should have been white? It doesn't look like I have a picture of the white overspray in the back on Photobucket. I'd have to look for it at home.
