Another paint question

OK, this is probably a dumb question. I know you need to use flex agent in your paint when painting the nose and tail sections. So I imagine that means taking them off to paint, paint them with the flex then paint the rest of the car without the flex. I could see a problem arising with the 2 batches of paint not matching perfectly since one has flex mixed in and the other does not and you are painting 2 separate times. Like the same reasons I have been told you do not want to paint the car in pieces. Waht am I missing?

Thanks

Are u useing base clear? If so what i do is set the bumper on the car. Spray my color( the base does not need the flex) Than take them off to clear them.. With some clears now u don't need the flex. Hell the last time I painted my car i mixed up a little to much.. So I just went over the hole car one more time.. And it was fine.
