After all was said and doneI thought that a) the quarter should be tacked at the drip rail THEN b) it should be pushed UP from the bottom to increase the curvature at the extension. This may have required some slits behind the extension or some shrinking of those lips.

Paint your base color then paint your satin black stripes. Then tape off the stripes and clear the base. Then tape off the base at the tape line and satin clearcoat the stripes. Wet sand and buff. You won't find many cars out there where they've gone to this much trouble and expense.
