Default paint match question

I am at the stage of shooting my car soon. I do have the use of a pro booth, but getting the car there and dedicating the time to do it there may be a problem. The car is all in pieces, the doors, hood spoilers are all off the car. I could easily paint the car in pieces in my garage at my leisure, but I am concerned about color match on all the panels. I am going with red cc,bc.
I know what the real answer should be (booth), but wanted some opinions on the subject.

thanks

IMO you run the risk of the parts not matching if you paint them at differant times. But since the color is not a metalic you might be able to get away with it.

Can't you fab up some kind of staging framework so that most of the important pieces can be shot at the same time? Then you can transport them together, as well.
