Hi all. Having my hardtop painted as it's silver and the car is moon rock grey. The painted has said really he needs to remove the rear glass with a new rubber seal. But if the glass brakes it £700 just for the glass, Otherwise he is going to leave the glass in and mask it up. Can anyone help me on this?

I'm no paint expert, but you don't hear of paint shops removing the windows on a car for a respray.

Masking should be fine.

Cheers for reply. That did cross my mind

Having just removed a rear hardtop glass to replace it with Lexan I can confirm it's a f**king c**t of a job. And that's with the all the trim and finishing removed.

He stands more chance of ending up with an unsatisfactory end result through damaging something than he does through overspray from bad masking.

Cheers for reply pal. Yeah we went with the masking up job in the end
