Not saying its wrong but I have never seen it done like that! I have always painted them with the doors trunk and hood off so the jambs get done at the same time and then spray the clear the same day as the base coat! Looks great and cant wait to see it finished up! 
I normally spray all the jambs and that stuff as I
spray the base then move to the exterior and shoot
that... then go back for the second coat on base...
that includes doing the jambs again... then set up
for clear... doing the jambs first again... what I
remember is that you have (I believe) 48 hours to
shoot the next coat or you need to scuff it so it
has bite.... but in his case he is wet sanding so
that will be giving it the bite

So, what your saying is that Randys fingers get to heal up for a week before he does it again? LOL! I'm sure the finished product will be awesome. Guess I will have to wear white gloves when we put the motor back in?

According to some of the comments made on this thread...he's UNCONVENTIONAL,in his methods....and order in which he proceeds. That's fine with me! I know VERY LITTLE about body work and paint! 
All I know is that he does EXCELLENT work...and met my measly little budget! The X went to his place in early December..and should be done in 2 weeks. Not a bad turn-around time,in my opinion!
