So im going to be painting my car on monday, inside and out, so i was wondering what order i should paint it? The hood, decklid, and fenders are off. Still trying to find a place to hang the doors. So which should get painted first? I was thinking the inside with jambs first then roof then sides, then repeat? Any suggestions? Thanks

So much crap gets blown around painting the inside that it's a really bad idea to try and paint the outside at the same time.

it will also depend on the color and if metallic...many times you can not panel paint metallics, unless you are a pro....the metallic will lay different and can make the color look entirely different

definitely spray the inside and outside at different times. Also spend a few extra bucks and buy decent masking paper. Newspaper contains alot of lint....Steve

So i found i place to hang the doors. I vacuumed the inside of the door then placed some masking paper inside to prevent dirt lifting up. I painted the doors, decklid and hood off. I started started with the pieces first coated them all then eent to the body. I did the roof first, then rear quarter panels, rear apron, doorjambs, front quarters then front apron. Then i went inside and sprayed the dash and under it. I ran a tack cloth over it after it flsshed to get any dirt debris or dry paint, there wasnt much but just for safety. It came out pretty good. Only a run on the bottom end of the hood and near the door but nothing bad.
