Does anyone have any pics of a two-tone cab with out the doors on? My truck wasnt a two-tont ot begin with so Im having a little trouble figuring out whereI need to mask off. I have some pics of a truck with the doors on but not any with the doors off....
Thanks so much!!!!

You have several options on where to divide it. It's really up to you. You can do the front post pillars the upper color or not and the dividing line on the back of the cab is the chrome dividing strip below the rear window. Also decide if you want to do the upper doors in the same color same with upper side inside the door jams.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I was mostly interested in how the door jams were done. I think I got it masked out pretty good. I going to spray and clear the inside of the cab, the outer fire wall, and inside fenders tomorrow. Maybe the outside of the cab if I have time only have about 4 hours tomorrow to work on the truck. Im so glad to finally be spraying final paint, Im so tired of bodywork!!!!
