One more thing. I think I would repaint the car in the original color. Your jambs look good enough to leave alone. It's more work than you can imagine to do while trying to paint the car. The other option is scuff and paint them first. But, with doors on, you'll have a tough time getting everything covered. Otherwise (as a perfectionist, as we are), everything has to be pulled apart (doors, hood, trunk bumpers, etc.) to get good coverage of color change. This is where guys get burnt out, loose interest, stall and sell cheap to the next guy to finish. That's how I got my 72 Sport convertible with endura front (originally sundance orange). I would recommend pulling the bumpers and valance at a minimum though. Your car looks good. I would make your top decision before you start. I think the other painter was setting you up for a rip off by the way.
