When painting a single stage paint is it ok to paint the car in sections? I know with metallic it's not advisable.
Only if your doing the "moparts" brush and roller paint job, otherwise hang and align all the panels on the car, some pre-jambed if you wish, and paint it like the factory did,.....correctly, and in one piece, otherwise your "project" can end up looking like this...

Why not do both, like I do. Assemble the car, do all the body work tape off the car, accept the parts you want to paint. I just did a 65 Mustang convertible in black and it is perfect. No rush, no worries this way
Because black is the easiest color to do that way, but most of the time you can tell if you look close.
It's tough to get paint to flow the exact same way day to day most times because of conditions. There are many things that could be different day to day.
