Hi chaps.
Long time lurker here, but don't post much in this section.
I'm going to start a vehicle build soon and wanted some advice in painting the body shell.
I have seen the beautiful finishes people attain on here, and so thought it was the best place to ask.
So, to my questions :-
What is the best order to paint the shell in? I know I need to prime, then colour coat and gloss,but how do you keep the exterior colour getting inside the shell?
What is the best way to paint the shell? Interior colour first, then exterior, or exterior first then interior?
Is it best to attach all the exterior panels before the colour coat is applied, or spray fenders and bonnet/ boot separate?
I'm going to be using zero paints " plum crazy purple". This is going to be my first attempt with their paints. I've heard nothing but good things about them. The colour is a metallic, I think, how do you best keep the metallic particles distributed evenly in the paint? Is there a special method, or just shake the paint like crazy, and spray the colour fairly quickly?
Sorry for all the questions, but the search function didn't reveal many answers to me.
I hope my first build goes smoothly, with your help, I'm hoping it's trouble free.
Thank you for looking in.
Matt
