This is the method I use and recommend for painting panel doors. Basically the key point is to try to always follow the grain direction of the wood, even if the grain is stamped into masonite. And do areas in a logical order: trim, panels, rails, stiles, edges, top and bottom. Once you've started painting an area, move quickly to finish it to avoid smears and lap marks where the paint partially dried.
