quick question.... when doing a color change what do most pros do... the outside surfaces first and then after thats cured do the underhood...door jambs...hatch area...

or reverse that.... all the underhood,door jambs...etc and then once that has cured paint the whole exterior...

?

 

Jambs first then the whole exterior.

I have always said that if I were doing something I wanted show worthy, I would disassemble the car completely and hang up parts then spray the whole thing. Then that way no tape lines.

 

Bingo

My black 96SS transformed to millennium yellow...

Didn't paint the engine compartment because I didn't feel the need to. Black car going to yellow... black looks good for the engine

 

*bows to brent*
I love that color, I'm thinking about doing the same to my black camaro, but leaving jambs, and engine bay black (and maybe black berger) but I don't want to shell out too much cash..

 

i wish i had a black car, cause then you can paint it any color you want. thats the reason im not painting my T/A yellow like my old camaro cause the engine compartment would be a bish. and you cant leave it white.lol

 

When doing a color change, if you take it anywhere reputable they will do what they did to Brent's car. That's just how it's done; otherwise it's a crappy paint job, and I doubt any shop but macco would want their name on.

 

i'm painting it myself. i can paint quite well.

 

you always do the cut in first then the whole exterior on a full color change. the better you want the job to turn out the more you better take apart, door handles, moldings, etc.
