I have been panting now for almost 25 years but I would like someone else s opinion on the proper sequence to paint an entire vehicle. Where do you start, where do you go next, what do you paint last. Both color and clear if there is a difference. What variables would affect this sequence such as type of booth, chemicals, etc.
Basecoat start with roof and move down and just work your way around.
Sealer and Clear- roof rails and roof, 1st quarter panel, 2nd quarter panel, decklid, doors on same side as 1st quarter, 2nd set of doors, fender on same side as 1st quarter, second fender, hood last. Make sure to band the edges of flat panels and stay within banding to keep down overspray on other panels especially the roof.
