A few things to consider, if your painting a metallic color you really need to paint all at once or the flake orientation could be different. Also if your apart, paint the parts as they would be on the truck. IE: hood down flat and fenders on the side, don't lay doors down on a table to paint them they need to stand up as well.
Spray a test panel to make sure you have the gun set where it needs to be with air pressure and flow so the paint will lay out better.
