Default Re: "The Beater Bee" becomes "The Better Bee"

I shot the jambs, inner doors, trunk gutters, and underside of the decklid all at the same time so as not to have any overspray or masking lines. The trunk lid I kept closed with a wire that went from the latch to the striker latch on the underside of the lid. On mopars, that latch plate is painted body color. The latch mechanism isn't painted but the bolts are since there was a mechanism installed to keep the trunk closed when the outside was painted. Aso a result, the truck latch striker gets painted on the deck lid, and the latch should be plated correctly [no paint] but the bolts that hold it on are painted body color since those bolts were holding the temporary latch in place during the paint process [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] hope that helps!
