Hi to all,

I am fixing up a 1930 blindback for a friend, just a driver. My question is when we paint the door jambs do we paint the door jambs all one color? The colors are Chicle Drab / Copra Drab, also do we paint the body jambs are they painted one color or both

Well, the "textbook answer" is you do it however he wants it done, --or however you are willing to do it! To be authentically correct, the primary color (lower body color) would be applied on the body, and the trim color (secondary color) was applied over that. The jambs would be painted in the lower body color and the trim color was applied on the outside area only. The lacquer paint actually "oversprayed" through the door gaps and only wrapped as far as one could see from the exterior when the doors were in the closed position. Is that 'clear as mud'?? :)
