no u dont have to on the corsa............... u just take the rubbers out cos they go over all the seams then rubbers back in after and u dont c marks!!! fron windows just wind them down and mask up the seam!!
i agree make betta job is windows are out but if u have 2 cars next to each other...........on had windows out and other had rubbers taken out so long as they both been put back properly then u cant tell difference!

fronts fair enough but winscreen, rear screen and rear quarters if you can take seals out and put them back in do it, but i wouldnt just mask up to rubber seal as would be poop if not masked perfect

woulds be best to take the doors off and just make sure u do it all evenly!
so basecoat it all first and then laquer it all at the same time!
