My GT4 is at the paint shop and taken apart. But we don't know how to handle all the sealing gaskets. So the gaskets on the doors and front and back"window". Did you remove the gaskets or did you paint the car with them on and just put tape on it?

First of all - if you want to make a perfect job - remove AS MUCH stuff from the car as you can. Front door "gaskets" are removible, as for the rear - you can only remove them WITH the windows, this means you need to cut out the windows. I did this on my celi, did this on Edos car, did this on Marchius car, and the result was 50x better with them removed, cuz if you dont remove them, the paint and clearcoat will peel off after some time, cuz it is imposible to sand the clear coat near the gaskets top (near the roof) cuz they are made from plastic and you can not bend them to make a way to clear coat under them...
As for rear window, if you have abilitty to remove it - make this, if not - the rubber suroundig can be lifted to resand the area under it....
