Ok folks, here goes.... basically i cant decide on what paint scheme to paint my car in!

one solid colour or 2 colours which kinda contrast each other.

If i choose to go the 2 colour way.... what paint n shit do i need. Obviouslly primer, 2 loads of paint, laquer..... but what other shit do i need????

Has anyone any experience with this kinda work i.e. 2 colours on one panel.

Will it just be a case of carefully masking off the bits i want painted, then take turns about at spraying each colour as to produce an even level/surface on the panel before laquering it????

mask, spray first colour, wait till its dry, the mask of and spray teh other half, then smooth the line with 1200 etc.. then laquer the whole panel.

cellulose paint is easier to spray but i dont like the finnish it gives, more orange peely and not as thick.
