Now you're going to climb in and out of the vehicle, drag the air hose in and out or what ever else. Maybe scratch the outside........ I vote paint the inside first. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 | Definitely paint the inside first, and all your edges. Then you can mask everything off and paint the rest. It makes way more sense that way. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 133 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 133 | all one color? if so, paint it all at once. i've done three trucks like this and works good, just need to be attentive to where you are at all times so as not to touch wetpaint.
