Went to a car show to check out correct door gap because I just install a new front end and I want to make the car look 'stock' yeps!!!! when you look close I saw some BIG gaps on a lot of cars especially at the front top
of the doors, on many I can see inside, so what is the 'real gap size that I should shoot for, 1/8 looks cool, but maybe after paint and primer it would look too small, what is the right gap before paint?
You might want to make sure once painted and or clear coated all of the gaps MAY change with the extra layers of product. The critical area is the front section when you open the door. Don't want to chip a piece of fresh paint off right from the get go. Shape or condition of your hinges, door shims etc all can affect the end results. Any hinge play up and down?

I agree. Using GM's specs my work fine for some paint jobs. But if you plan on using gelcoat, high build primers and basecoat /clearcoat...you may want to take into consideration the film build up.
