How to two tone doors and door jams:
Step 1: Remove all door rubber seals, door strikers, door panels, window moldings etc.. anything that you dont want to have to mask off and risk having paint lines on.
Step 2: Scuff sand the areas with 320grit sand paper, using wax and grease remover, clean the jams using wet cloth dry cloth method. Use a tack rag to remove any dust left behind before you begin the masking process.
Step 3: Mask off the door opening and the inside of the door where the door panel goes, this will prevent paint from entering onto the glass and latch.
Step 4: Tack rag again before spraying primer sealer, apply a thin even coat of sealer to the entire areas being painted. Sealer does not get sanded unless you get a run or a lot of trash on the surface.
Step 5: Spray the top base coat to the areas that need that color.

Step 6: Allow the base coat to air dry for 20-30 mins then using 1/4" masking tape lay out the two tone lines. apply 3/4" masking tape to the 1/4" line and then apply 18" masking paper to protect the first basecoat.





Step 7: apply the other base coat to the masked off areas. Make sure to spray all the hard to get areas first so not to touch wet paint when trying to spray them.




Step 8: demask the two tone masking and apply the clear coat. once the clear has cured for 30mins or so remove the masking, be sure not to let the doors shut or touch anything until the paint has cured for atleast 8hours
