Thank you Nick. That helps clarify the sequence better for me. Beautiful paint job on the Mercury. Love that vintage car. Only hope I can at some point lay down a paint job that nice on one of my future builds. I have 10 kits already...on the first one, Lindberg 64 Dodge 330. Going with the slant 6 engine. 50 Olds Custom is next and the final paint job is important to me. Anyway thank you for the help. Bob
