Speaking of painting door jambs, I had a friend who owns his own Maaco here 
paint a Javelin for me in the mid 1990s. I was curious as to how they would 
paint the door jambs, so told him to call me before car went into paint 
booth. Doors open, they had removed the scuffplates and pulled back the 
carpet and taped it down, and also there was something like butchers paper 
backing it, so none of the interior would get hit with paint. Dust yes, not 
paint. The striker, metal trim door tag, plastic VIN door tag, all had been 
covered by masking tape. The weatherstrips also had been covered all the way 
around the door with tape. It ended up looking reall ynice, not concours 
mind you, as if one ever peeled back the weatherstrip you would see original 
color. However, for $500 paint job, the car was no longer a cop attractor 
either, so sort of you get what you pay for lesson too, however, I was not 
going to drop a $3K paint job on this car that was worth well, maybe $3K 
either. Just some rambling thoughts to add to Terry's comments.
