We got some questions, people questioning whether the edge of the door actually got painted or not. But I didn't think of the hardware. You see the hardware is, we've masked it off, it's got a nice clean line around it. The edge of the door, we actually removed the weather strips. We masked the inside of the door and the outside edge of the door. When this door is closed, what happens is you have about a half inch gap because we removed the weather strips and because of that gap, now the edge of the door will get painted all the way around and you won't have an unpainted finish as you can see right there. Once again, you're removing the weather strip, you're masking around the edges of the door with inch and a half frog tape, you're spraying it, you're kind of actually spraying it to an angle that way and angle this way and spraying up to the angle in your outside or your inside edges of the door will get painted doing that method.
