I just painted another one yesterday, I should have taken photos of the process. For this one I sprayed the whole cab dark blue:

Then I taped off everything that I wanted to stay dark blue, then did a coat of clear to seal in the tape. Once that was dry I sprayed the whole thing very light blue. I then taped off the areas that were to be light blue stripes (fat one in the center and the thin ones right next to the dark blue stripes). I again sprayed a coat of clear, then I sprayed the medium shade of blue. Let it all dry and unmasked it and this was the end result:

I used the same method for this hood. I used pink as the base color, masked it off, sprayed the whole thing silver, masked off the thin stripes, then sprayed the whole thing red:
