man how did i miss this. sorry guy. you're probly done now but here goes. i paint all pieces separate. if you use the right vlaue shade under it and put enough on it will be "covered". if it's a problem color i hang parts back on and put the final coat on it all to bring it together. then i take it apart and clear it. the fewer pieces you do the more you can concentrate on finish. just my way of doing it. hope this helps.
