The edges are at the front and rear of the cockpit opening. As the body comes out of the mold, the inside edges go straight down. On the original cars, the aluminum was rolled over a tube, so we recommend grinding the fiberglass to shape. There's enough material to do it without adding any.

I can't speak to painting the footboxes. We never do it ourselves, since the white gelcoat looks pretty good as it comes out of the mold. The original cars were left in gelcoat also.
