Default dark to light

Hi,
The ideal process would be starting with the darkest color(black) working your way to the lightest. However, it's not practical in lots of cases. the reason you'd do this is by spraying the darkest first your next color won't show thru, example would be in painting white then red, the red might show thru the white making it look a pinkish color. etc.
you can start with either color just make sure you back your blue color with silver before applying the black
black, blue, silver behind blue, black to cover the silver, sealer OR
blue backed with silver then entire body black, sealer
