Me personally I'd do the bare minimum to it if you plan on tearing it down later. Just means extra sanding later! Save your money and buy real white walls

Bit of a rub back wiith wet & dry and a couple of coats of clear satin should get you there. Simple. Then the jambs will all be the same colour.
Love the buick. Hope my future 2 door project will look as cool.

I think yr existing colour would look
in flat also. I resprayed mine the same colour but flat. (not intentionally
)
As for goatees and flat black cars- I grew a goatee
after the nineties just cos I always wanted to- I still want a flat black car because I haven't ever owned one - isn't trendy is trendy isn't it?
