    Great idea to paint the roof and hood separately. I always painted the door edges, hood, trunk edges, etc. then the entire car. Your way prevents the overspray.
    Never said I was a painter. :49:
    Altho on my wagon it was two colors so I guess I did do it that way.
    Too much painting without a resperator!:banghead3::biglaugh:

    tomorrow i start with masking and cover the roof and hood

    the paintjob must not be perfect, it´s a daily driver, but i´m very happy with my job

    I made ​​it myself and this is important

    Looks great. Love that color. That's like painting an air craft carrier.
