I have my daughter's Squareback just about ready for paint.
First off this is not going to be a show car, this will be a really driver and my daughters first car. We're also doing a color change.
Wondering if I should do the jams, dash, and trunk, then hang the fenders back on and do the entire rest of the car, or......jams, trunk, dash, doors, aprons etc. Exactly what is on it in the pics, then spray the fenders and rear hatch separate and hang them once they're painted.
Help, I'm stumped.

do the inside, mask it all off carefully. Hang the outer panels and prep and paint the outside in one hit

Well, I went with jamming it, hanging the panels, now I'm in the process of wet sanding the exterior of the car.
