He did the jambs first them shot the car. If I were shooting a metalic like that, I wouldnt be shooting it as a whole, as to get even coverage and not end up with mismatched panels. Its just to easy to lay a shit ton more paint on a bumper or small panel on a stand than if it were a walk around and shoot deal. just my 2 cents. ---

now that the paint has cured a bit I did the initial wet sanding with 1200 and cutting creme with a wool pad to get rid of the orange peel.
