The door jambs on my car are kinda rough in many areas. Unfinished junctions where panels meet. Grinder scars in some areas. Other areas are flat but clearly show the original grain of un-sanded fiberglass.

My 63 jams r smooth. Car was repainted in the 70's but the did very little prep-just a quickie spray. (I dont even think they opened the doors to paint on my car during the re-spray)

My 63 jambs are kind of rough. Will fix that before new paint is applied.

I would say this is typical. Some areas are smooth and some are rough. Nothing was sanded before prime/paint.
