Jeep doesn't make half doors in Gecko, so I bought a used set in Sting Gray. I will be disassembling them, getting them re-keyed & painted, then putting them back together.
I know to adjust the door hinges to get them to fit the Jeep. I see the factory painted the hinges & hinge bolts all the same color - it looks like it was painted after assembly though. Does anyone know?
If I adjust them while they're still gray & have them painted all at once, I'm concerned about not getting paint under the hinges. If I wait to adjust them after they're painted, then I think the the torx bolts will need re-painting to get that factory appearance...right?
Who has done this (same for hard doors) and what did you end up doing?
