Just curious how much material (roughly) to remove between the door and the cabin for paint. I have a flush fit with no gap now.

You'll probably have to use your best guess, but, I'd leave something
like 1/8" or more. You don't want that seam to be ultra
flush when you're done. Let the door seal do it's work and
give it an 1/8 or more. Besides, if you later fabric cover
the door (which is nice and quieter), you will want even more gap.

My paint guru said to allow at least 0.020" gap. A properly applied paint job on both sides will fill approximately half of that, leaving a final gap of about 0.010".

That's pretty tight IMO. A lot will depend on your painter, and whether you use a single stage paint or base/clear/ different painters prefer different coverages. I allowed between 1/16 - 3/32, and in a couple of places its just barely enough (base/clear paint job).

I personally prefer a wide gap that has an even, constant spread in the gap (door gap, cowl gap) than a tighter gap that is not even.
I wish I had followed my own advice on the baggage door. It's a bit too tight.
