Thanks Terry --- I'd thought about the inner door jambs being different but not
about overspray. I should know better too --- I'm an ex-commercial painter and
I've put many gallons through conventional and airless guns........Can I assume
that if you're painting a car the same colour you don't mask the jambs because
the overspray matches what's there?

Cheers,
Doug
