I did mine this way because I had to paint the cage, interior, doorjambs, and insides of the doors. There was no way I could see to get it all done. Especially since I had to crawl inside over the cage to do the interior and inside of the cage. I did the the jambs when I was doing this. Looking back, it might have been better to do the jambs and insides of the doors with the exterior to avoid the line, but I was afraid I would have problems opening and closing the doors with every coat without damaging something. I actually read this is a book, and went with it never looking back.
Any insight on how to do this would be helpful for the future. I suggested what I did because I think the original question was from someone with about as much experience as myself or less.
Another problem I could see is the door hinge area. By painting all separate, I got a perfect finish in this area, and I could not see how to do this painting with the doors on.
