Hey Guys,
I am getting closer to painting my classic, and need to know what everyones opinion is on paint. I am planning on bright white with either black or black pearl for the sides and stripe with a silver pinstripe. what is best? Awl grip, some other marine single stage , or am I better off with something like PPG Diamont acrylic urethane basecoat, clearcoat system? I am going for a very smooth no orange peel glossy paint job. I have used PPG several times in the past on car restorations. Also, what order do you paint in? cabin first, then deck, then stripe, then white sripe on side, then black on the side? It seems like it is going to be a bit tricky, how do you put a second or thrid coat in the cabin with out walking all over it? hang from the ceiling? Any advise is appreciated
