QUESTION: After painting My 59 Shasta, do you put on window brows before or after? On mine, the jrails don't cover the overlap. I used 3/4" tape...... Or use 1" wide tape?and then do you paint the tape that sticks out past the 3/4" wide Jrail?

I polish my eyebrows and install them after paint. I also add wood backers behind the skin to support the eyebrow. That prevents the skin from ripping.
Putty tape is your go to seal for edge trim. The putty should ooze out and is trimmed flush once the screws are seated. Not sure why the J rail is leaving exposed overlap; the overlap should only be 5/8" or so. Do you have photos?

It sounds like your overlap is too big and it needs trimmed. I also polish the eyebrows and put them on after painting.
