This looks great - more progress pics please!

I have a 71 yellow beetle I want to replace the read fenders and found a pair of light blue - since I am changing the color would it be a bad idea to maybe spray these with matching yellow rattle can first and then roll? maybe that will speed up the color coverage?



I don't know when my schedule is going to let me do some more work but I'm itching to work on it again. I will post results as soon as I do.

On the painting tips, I'm not likely to be the best source. In my opinion though it was easier for me to start with a more uniform colored base. By going with the primer I am getting pretty even coverage and color over the whole truck. As opposed to others who were having a pretty big color and coverage variance when they painted directly over varying surfaces. So I would say they to start the car at a uniform starting color.
