since you changed the color did you do the door jams? if so how hard or a PITA was it? if Not what do you think or other people think when they still see the white in the door jams?
I am wanting to go from the forest green to a Dark metallic red but don't know how easy it would be to do the jams or if it is worth doing.

A guy down the road built that paint booth in an old shed beside his house. He uses it to paint some of his personal projects and rents it out for $50 when he's not using it. The cool thing is he lets you use his spray gun too! I was originally planning on painting it outside in the front yard but we had a cold spell the week I was planning to do it.

I did not paint the jams because although I do use it a DD it's built for a trail rig so it's probably gonna get dinged up/scratched and whatnot so I wasn't to concered about that. I have since rhinolined the white part under the front fenderwells though. If i decided to paint the jams I will probably do them with a small roller or foam brush so i won't have to tape everything off again (which was a PITA)

most paint shops rent booths out. smaller ones give pretty good deals. 75-100 bucks a day. if you know what youre doin you can get it done in one day..depending on how much painting..how many stages..etc..
anyways...nice lookin paint job man. i lik the color. looks good.
