What is the painting scheme on the door jams?
As I can recall from cars at the last Trek at Caz, I saw many different painting schemes on the door jams, so I am confused. Hope you can help, as usual, the painter needs to know as soon as possible. Regards, Jerry Houchens ANSWER: PAINTING OF DOOR JAMS, DOORS AND BODY Jerry – The door posts and door jambs were painted main body color, in your case the lighter color. The edge of the center door post on a 4-door sedan that is exposed when the doors are closed was painted the upper body color, but this color did not wrap around the post. I’m not as positive about a coupe’, but I think the entire post was body color with again, just an exposed edge painted the upper body color. The reasons for this treatment is mainly production time at the factory. This is what I have found on all Walker-bodied cars. Dietrich tended to spend the extra time and wrap the upper body color all the way around the door posts and jambs. It’s always best to check with other owners of original cars, if you can.
