Door Opening Rivets
 
Bob,

My car #2066 is ready for the last coat of primer on Monday-- then paint-- My question is regarding the rivets that are in the door sill (where the step molding goes)--

The painter has asked me if he should bury the rivets or remove them and replace them after paint-- Right now they are getting buried by filler and primer etc--

I purchased the step moldings that would hide that whole area-- but if I choose not to install the moldings-- what is the correct way to finish off that area-- Do the real ones have rivets there??
What function do the rivets play?
How have the others been finished in that area on cars that you guys paint?--


Best regards,

Jim

The original car had rivets, but they were probably on the inside - toward the drivers compartment. They were probably left as is.

We just leave them in place and paint over them.
