This process works well not only fine tuning "post paint" but also for re-boding a car (as the 50+ Singers I did).

Most importantly it should be done before paint.

While you are doing all the bodywork etc, dry fit everything, once fitment is perfect; drill 1-2 small 1/8" alignment holes in the door hinges, door strike, deck-lid hinges, hood hinges (both on the hood as well the hinge to body) etc.. After paint it makes getting the perfect panel alignment less time consuming.

HTH
This ^^^. The idea is to work from back to front since the doors have to align to the rear quarters first. I did all of this except the small 1/8" alignment holes prior to painting.
