Finishing door jams

I have a number of door jams in place. I have been finishing the doors the mselves by spraying dye for color and then spraying Hydrocote as a finish c oat. Spraying the door jams in the house is out of the question. The logis tics of preventing overspray from going everywhere is just mind boggling.



I seem to have three options: First, dilute the dye in water, wipe, let it dry, and then brush on the Hydrocote (does it brush ).



Same as first option, but buy a brushing lacquer.



Third idea is to dilute the dye in a minimal amount of water, and add it to the Hydrocote - making a toner. Apply the toner to the jams with a bru sh.



Does anybody have any better and sure fire method?



Thanks,



Len

Remove the jambs and finish them just like you finished the doors.

I'm half kidding but I gotta ask: Why didn't you finish them before you ins talled them? I'm assuming they are new, correct?
