What is best, spraying a car piece by piece, doors, bonnet, boot, bumpers or the whole car at once.
Really depends on how big your compressor is and how much room you have to maneouver round the car.

200lt Compressor and enough room. What about over spray inside the doors, can't spray with the doors open? and spraying them before hand will give over spray when painting the body???
If you take it to anything other than a top notch bodyshop there will be overspray in the door shuts etc. You could mask if you are careful and patient. Also what will you be spraying with as overspray may well come off with G3.

Spraying with 2k. Like 2k because it's easier to flat and polish off dust and over spray when dry.
Actually cellulose is a lot easier for that. If you find removing 2k overspray not too bad though maybe you will be ok with not masking.

If you spray piece by piece using 2K, you are risking a colour miss match. Temperatures at the time of spraying can effect your shade, as well as mixing ratios. Small the effects may be, but it can happen.

Decided to spray the whole car once off. Just easier than trying to put the finished parts somewhere out of harms way or trying to refit everything without scratching it. Thinking of opening the doors a bit on the last coat to give it a layer as well, just might cover or blend in most of the over spray.
Why dont you just mask the doors off?
I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.
After painting it? Isn't the tape going to leave marks when I take it off after painting?
Soft edge it and then you'll just to to polish over it to remove the blend.
Save having over spray all over everything. I'd just remove the doors, if you want a good paint job, strip the car.

Might consider, it's already stripped.
when you say soft edge the tape what do you mean by that fella?Originally Posted by Benn
1" tape, fold 1/3 over on its self, then the side sits above and lets paint flick under it so you dont get a hard tape line.

Thanks for that mate so am i folding it over so the sticky sticks to the sticky or am i folding it other way?,just trying to picture it in my head now lol.
unless its a colour change, or the shuts need paint why would you want to paint them? if you are changing colour, then paint them first, then when masking up the car ready for the body to be painted, use foam softedge in all the panel gaps.

Soft edge is also a foam masking tape...used for door shuts ect.
...RobJenko beat me to that...lol.
Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games.
your best of painting it all together, as you can get colour change by spraying at different air pressures
I like to paint everything separately if your doing complete panels, if your just blowing over the outside may aswell do it all at once. Will be hard work with that little compressor though! And as someone else said if your just doing outside i'd buy the softedge/foamedge tape, 3M or Mirka both manufacture it.
