Wanted to double check paint order before first paintjob

[blendingnoise]

I just wanted to confirm the paint order for this scheme since it is my first time. I would mask the orange stripe section and then mask the blue section while leaving the space empty in between the two colors. Spray black first, then orange, then light blue, then back everything with white.


Any other suggestions?

Shooting order for outside colors usually starts light, goes to dark, ending with black. Inside lexan bodies Darker first, progressing to lighter

Thank you, forgot to mention it will be inside lexan so I will do black/orange/blue then.

I think you want black, blue, then orange. Then overall white.

Also make sure to use lexan specific paint.

Agreed..... But leave the last tape line (black)down until after the white backer is on or you will mottle the blue for sure with overspray

I must say. The blue is so pale, It is almost white. So the orange would be before.
