the best way i think to do it is to ease the rubber from the outside of the windows if u can, they are still bonded in so wont fall out, then paint and put rubbers back in after!!!

Ahhh, I thought the seal went from outside to inside with the glass sandwiched in the middle, didnt realise you ould take the rubber off the outside. Much easier now I know that!!

Thanks Iaz man.

on most cars, when masking, i just overlap 2 inch masking tape over the rubber and using a blade go around the edge and the rubber gets perfectly covered with masking tape

I did some painting last weekend, the laquer got too cold and cracked while drying Luckily it wasn't anything too important, just some uni work, so I could just re-do it...

The cars looking really good

Where do you get your paints from? I need to get some paint for my car in the newxt few weeks
