Are you using PPG paint/clear as well, since you are using DP epoxy? What clear do you use for the jambs?
Just a bit of back round of what I base my thoughts on. About 8 years ago, I started painted vehicles in pieces & adapted this into our daily routine. We do 500-550 a year, this year we have done over 600 vehicles. Most of them with at least one panel off of the car...MANY with 3-4 panels off,Tri-tones & all. There is a "set of plans or rules" you need to follow to make it work out, but it is VERY doable time after time. We have not had to repaint a vehicle for "shade variation", nicks or scratches in several years. We do have to repaint a couple a year for what was thought to be a "blendable" color in the booth...once taken out & you can stand back, it wasn't. This though has nothing to do with the way it's done...just a judgement that wasn't mean to be. Also, it's amazing how few panels get nicked putting the vehicles together. It's a case of: "This is how we do it, you just be careful & not nick, scratch, ect. Got it? Good!" & they guys just get it & we go.
I won't go into cluttering YOUR Journal of my "guide/rules" of how to make it work, but if you have any interest in trying it (which I strongly suggest you do) on some other, maybe smaller project...send me a PM & I'll share everything I've learned. Which also goes with anyone else on here also of coarse. The amount of time: in the booth, waiting for paint to dry, masking, masking materials plus the "nicer quality jambs" without any additional effort, makes it a WIN-WIN & more WIN.
Going to be a sweet little ride Darrell...Keep us posted!

Its fine. I keep telling myself its just a driver.
