Steps for rotisserie resto

Lots of different ideas. To each their own. That is why they make more than one flavor of ice cream. I prefer to paint the doors, fenders, hood, deck lid off the car. Then I spray the body shell (to include door jambs trunk, engine compartment) by itself. I have done a lot of paint jobs and never had a problem; even with metallic paints. To cut down on any chance of striping, I spray the last coat of color (I always do base - clear) with a few passes from multiple angles. There is a name for that technique, but I don't know it. This way the door jambs and hood/deck lid areas come out fine with no overspray or tape marks. You just have to be careful when assembling (use easy release masking tape).Also, whatever method you use to strip the paint, get the bare metal protected as soon as possible. I always use epoxy primer. You can do body work right over it. Then (after body work) follow up with a good high build primer. There are LOTS to choose from, but my favorite is Evercoat G2.
