10/26/25: I'm happy to report that I've accomplished what I set out to do: The doors and most of their associated parts are now finished with their final coat.

Overall, I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. The color looks great, and the coverage is good. I did encounter a minor hiccup due to insufficient light in the workspace, which resulted in another run on one of the doors. However, there's definitely enough paint, so once it's fully dried, I'm confident I'll be able to sand and compound it out without any issue.

I've still got a few smaller items to paint: the inside door trim, the rain deflectors, and a few screws and bolts. I'm hoping to tackle those in the next few days.

Fingers crossed for good weather and good lighting for the remaining pieces! Once that's all done, it'll be time to start the exciting part – reassembly!
