i have my tonner in primer and have wet rubbed it with 600 grit, it's now ready for colour (salamanca red)

just wondering how many coats of colour to put on, i was thinking 4 coats, is this the right amount?

also, is it ok if i paint the cab first then do the panels and doors in a few weeks, will there be a colour difference? paint is autothane 2 pack, solid colour

first question are you -painting car complete or in panels, then the car body

i suggest two coats assemable car then rub down with 1000 grit and apply two to three more coats of colour ,you have to be carefull with cheap arse paint as it solvent boils real easy thats is why i suggest two coat first panel car up let dry out for a week then apply two to three more coats when the car is panel up

pm me if you have any questions or wish to know more
