Have found pic before spraying how close can you cut ( in mm to the weld line ) if it comes to cutting is it best to use hacksaw or grind fractions away with diamond disc - don’t want to get hot as May lift raptor paint will have to get more to touch up real pain in butt I have removed paint and weld line on problem side is 10 mm on the straight but 15 mm on the bend would you say l am safe to grind away 4-5 mm on the bend
