Note that when you start working on the doors you will need to either clamp them to the cabin top or some people prefer to drill temporary cleco holes. If you prefer the latter then you may not want to paint until after the doors are done.
+* If you are going to use McMaster door seals and are also going to be painting your cabin top, consider fully prepping the interior surface for paint but not priming or painting anything forward of the rear windows. Prepping is easier before the cabin top is attached but anything anywhere close to the doors will have a lot of work to do once the seals are finished.
