Chris, Beware of those doors when you get ready to mount them!.... I pre-hung all the metal before paint and adjusted my hinges so the doors wouldn't be a problem after paint, However after paint once the final assemble took place one of the doors would not slide down when the latch was released and did everything it could to tear up the paint on the top of the door! I found that the hinges would intermittently bind up and not slide back down once the latch was released. do yourself a favor and use lots of painters tape around the door edges and contact area's when you install your doors until you know for sure that everything is functioning as it should. The whole close and lift system on these Tok. doors is a nightmare!....

That sounds like it's gonna look NICE!....I painted a '72 K5 Blazer in a 20x20 garage one time and turned the floor, walls, windows, and everything else in it red. Guess I didn't use enough plastic! Your right about the time, But i look at it this way...Education is always expensive! Myself? Once I've done something one time I never forget it and can always knock it out faster the next. I'll be doing more of these as it's already become an addiction! Looking forward to the pics. Later, Joe YEA JOE I KNOW THERE GONNA BE HELL! I PRE-FIT EVERYTHING ,BUT I ALREADY SEE IT COMING!

Hi Chris,
50 cents an hour? You gotta speed up!!I gave it up at $5.00an hour.LOL.
Check to see if you have tightened the trim piece that the door has to slide under too much.Loosen it up a little and see if the problem dissapears.I've never used any tape on any of mine and to this day the paint isn't damaged.Try it and see;always worked for me.Good luck
