Painting 599 GTO

[San_Miguel]

So I'm working on 2 Ferrari 599 GTO's.

The second one will be Tamiya Met Green TS20 with a Flat Black roof and wheels.

The question is... Should i paint the whole car green and clear coat it, then paint and paint the F Black roof over the clear? Or should i not clear coat the roof and do lots of taping and painting in separate stages?

Cheers,

Chris

Using " Ferrari " in your title may help.

Who is going to see "599 GTO" and think Pontiac?

Chris, I would paint the green & clear, then lightly scuff the roof, mask it off, and paint the flat black. I'd go very easy when applying the black so it stays very thin and doesn't build up against the masking. I believe you'd risk getting a ragged-looking edge between the green & black if you do it the other way you mentioned.
