Door reassembly?

I just repainted my doors after gutting everything from inside them. I don't want to screw up the new paint putting everything back together. Is it easier to reassemble the internals while the doors are on body stands or hang the doors and then put everything back in?

Re: Door reassembly?

either way put lots of painters tape on the edges and any other parts that car get scratched to avoid ruining your finish

And take deep breathes between piece installs. It will try your patience for sure.

I put mine together after haging them on the truck. Seemed easier to me. Like the others said, lots of tape and patience.
