Bill,
Fit it as tight as you can. You can easily use a Permagrit file and
quickly remove as much material as you need for paint. The paint guys will know
the answer about the gap and may even do the work for you. If you paint
it yourself, then worry about getting the correct gap when the time comes.
My gap varies a bit because the damn thing is such a challenge to fit, but
I've got about 1/16 gap. I'm using the Skybolt fasteners and they give a
bit, so the gap is going to vary anyway - even with hinges.

Greeting Fellow RV-8/8a Builders, Hijacking here; who can tell me how wide
the
gap between fuselage top skin and cowl fiberglass should be to allow for
paint?
Too wide and it would show, but too thin and the paint will pop with
expansion.

The saw blade technique works great. If you want a tighter fit you
can use a pull saw that has a thinner blade. This technique also
works well on the various empennage tips. But be careful too tight is
definitely not a good thing for the cowl because the paint will chip.
I know from experience.
