63 SWC door paint

[Rainer S.]

Getting ready to have my SWC painted. Paint code is sebring silver with black interior trim.
The question I have is:
What gets painted black on inside door, around the window opening ? Does the door get semi-gloss black-out, similar to the underside of the hood ?
Were is the transision of were black paint stops, and silver takes over ?
Was the black paint applied after ouside paint was sprayed, or before ?

Re: 63 SWC door paint

The doors are all silver, outside and in the door jamb area. No blackout on doors, except very small amount by the window crank, but this is under the door panel and almost impossible to see. Blackout is under the hood, inside wheel wells, firewall and inside all four wheel wells.

The bodies were painted color first, then blackout after.

Inside surfaces should match the interior. In your case black.

Re: 63 SWC door paint

I agree, that the door itselve, door jam, bottom and at door hinge area should be silver. But,the inside window casing, which is made from a sheetmetall stamping, to which the door panel is riveted, should be black, as I recall, before i stripped it. But were to I break-off the silver and go to black at the top, where the inner surface curves around and goes vertical ? I really would like to see a picture, if someone has one available...
