I removed the door handles, now I got a question
Ok dont laugh at me. Or go ahead I don't care. Anyway I've been doing the prep work to have my Camaro painted. Last week I took the driver's door panel off, and removed the mirror, lock, door handle and the moulding on the top outside edge.
So here's my question...You guys that have done this, once you removed your doorhandles to paint the car, uh, how did you go about opening and closing the doors? Surely the windows are up when the car is painted, so how did you get in the car to put it all together?
And no, I havent trapped myself out of the car. I didnt take apart the passenger door yet.

Actually, I leave the side windows down and mask when I paint. My preference is to remove all the glass if possible since you have easier access to all of the nooks and crannies.
