I have been fighting this driver door for some time. I covered the car up for a few months and had life happen, and know I am back at for a while. Anyways, the door is too tight in the hole and the lower trailing bottom edge of door needs to be re-done because the door hits the outer tub and does not come in the jamb as the door should. This thing has moved on me few times, and now I want to give it some wiggle room by either grinding the door bottom or grinding out some of the factory lead or (perhaps old body shop lead filler) to get it the way I want it. I have bent hinges back and forth and used all the bad language I have and this is where I am at!!!!!
My questions are I have a couple of base coats of a product called OMNI or MAE Acrylic Enamel with Hardener, no clear coat. So if I grind out the door jamb right on the edge, can I paint right over the lead with acrylic enamel or do i need primer and all the stuff—I think I can keep the area very small or just paint or I can and primer and paint by primmering that little spot in jamb and do it like I was doing a larger area. I think I can get in there and not make a big mess (God Willing) and not involve a big area. Can I grind the door edge of an 1/8 of an inch for about 2 inches on the bottom outer edge without making a new problem? Or a combination of the 2, by grinding the door edge and grinding the jamb. The door protrudes out at the bottom and so does the jamb. Ideas please
