Rob=> I've been told by a friend, paint the => inside jambs, dash etc. then take it for => upholstery. Thenm after it's returned, => fix or sand any scratches left by the => careless hands with a timeless classic. => Mask off the inside and shoot the rest => of the car, ... Take the headliner, for instance. It's glued to the body seams under the seals. So you'd have to paint the insides of the windows along with the interior. Where does the paint edge come, and how to you keep overspray off the outside of the car? Then, with all your interior stuff in but the windows still out (a complicated proposition by itself), how do you keep overspray out of the interior while making sure you've got complete paint under the window seals (very important!)? Your instinct is correct, this would be a nightmare with a Type 3. (Maybe there are some other kinds of cars (or slack paint jobs) where this method could be useful, I dunno.) I've got a better approach for you: Paint the car properly, let the paint cure properly (young paint is easier to scratch), then take the interior work to someone you can trust to do it right, without messing up your paint.
