Thanks guys. Sort of begs the question of why you would do a quality paint job without removing the seals? I suppose for the same reason some just mask easily removed components rather than remove them. The word quality doesn't mean much to some. I know that if I was going to spend 2-3K (or more) on a paint job I'd certainly spend a weekend or two stripping the thing down. Mind you in the case of the new yellow car the paint job was really slap happy. Overspray on the front trunk carpet, lousy masking of the A pillars, even the car cover in the trunk has a spray line on it. Oh well - looks a hell of a lot better than my old car so who am I to complain!
