Need Help with a Two Tone.

I've got a 2002 s-10 single cab. I have some body work and repairs to do. The base color is black, from the factory. I plan on doing a two town, bottom half black, and top half sunset orange metallic. I had a photoshop done on another site, the orange isn't quite right but it gives the general idea.

Body mods that need done:
1. Roll pan welded in
2. 3rd brake light welded up
3. smooth door handles
4. dents and dings fixed.

My questions:

With the welding and filling that will be done, there will have to be primer in various spots.

How should I approach painting the truck? Should I do the body work, prime/seal, then block the whole truck, and shoot it with the black, mask off the bottom part, then spray the orange?

I plan on doing the door jambs as well, but I will more than likely airbrush them, so as to save some time in masking and disassembly. this is my daily driver, so It need to be able to be completed (paint) form start to finish, in somewhere around a week...and be ready for the road.

any comments, tips, and the like are welcome.

if GTMike400 visits this forum...gimme some pointers bro!
