I've HEARD (but never tried) that you can just use fishing line to "cut" through the glue that holds the black trim/molding on the windows then tape just the glass. Once you paint it and put new trim/moldings on, you won't have any paint lines.

I figured out how to pull the quarter moldings without removing the glass, and removed the chrome door trims as well. I'm fixin' to start a build thread and will put a link in my sig.

The paint looks nice, but why didn't you wait until you had your Vertex kit to paint it?

Getting the vertex kit was last minute..I was going to wait to buy it but I saw a good deal and couldn't pass it up.
