I know it's not ideal, but can a 6-2" brake bend up my DLM doors? Thanks.

Yes. 8' is ideal though.

6 foot 6 is the perfect size to also do the plastic at the bottom of the doors. I have a six foot that does great but can't do the rolled plastic. But most everyone wants the store bought plastic now.

But can it do most standard length doors? I'll live with store bought skirt plastics.

Yes we use a 6 foot to do our bodies

Nothing wrong with doing doors in sections either as it's alot easier to do repairs and patches.

Id rather do a solid piece door. Sounds like most doors are 5'6" - 5-8"

It will do doors. Most doors I do never extend past 6 feet. If they do it is maybe an inch. Which can still be done in a 6 foot with overhang on each side. A 74 will be fine. If you are buying the one carey smith has it is a good buy

The pre-formed skirts are thicker and hold up a lot better than the roll plastic. Its a lot cheaper to use the roll plastic but you are repairing it more often
