Paint job does not include door jams. Im blackbird ws6, live in California and hot seats make me sweat. If i was to paint artic white would it look silly with black door jams?

Also how to remove the weather strips (drip rail moldings) from each window?

Keep it the same color because if you dont paint white it would look dumb the jams includes the underside of the hood, the inside of the fenders, the door jams, and the trunk jams. Also even if you do the jams your enigne bay will still be black. i say leave it.

I wouldn't have a problem leaving the engine bay black, but all other jambs I would have to color match.

If you go cheap it won't look good...and if you want good it won't be cheap..

Do it right.. and I highly doubt painting it would make the car less hot.

Something much easier like very dark tinted Ttops, hatch and windshield visor will help alot.
Leave your windows cracked an inch if you can.

If this doesn't solve your problem, I 'd say vinyl wrap the car instead of painting it.

If you aren't painting the door jams and engine bay, you aren't really painting the car correctly. A half-assed paint job wil definitely decrease value to a serious buyer IMO. While you see a lot of guys talking about $2,000-3,000 paint jobs, there's no way that is done to oem quality. A professional, correct, and entire paint job will be about $6000-7000 with labor.

I have an Artic White TA and my car still feels hot as hell in the summer
and although it's probably cooler than your black TA
it's not going to be a night and day difference in how hot the car gets if you
went and got yours ainted white.

Your best bet is the get the car insulated well, get tint and bump up the ac,
get a bigger radiator, better water pump, ect

I also heard that getting a pusher fan in front of the AC condensor makes a big difference.

LOL, you just lost resale value when you painted it
because you can kiss the 4K+ you spend on the paint good bye,
no one will ever repay you for that kind of work.
