I think you’re doing the right thing by doing the damage topically. I had some difficulty with some paint peeling when removing the masking tape due to the paint not adhering properly to the silver undercoat.
The amount of masking is a pain, but the end result is well worth the effort. The order of colors just happened to work that way. Ordinarily I like to paint the colors lightest to darkest, but I didn’t have the yellow I wanted at the time and just went ahead and did the other colors first. Honestly, it probably doesn’t matter what order you go in. I just do it that way because I like to overlap the the lighter colors a little bit onto where the darker colors will be so there won’t be any gaps where the colors meet and the darker colors cover the lighter better. Not sure if that makes any sense. Lol
What paint will you be using?
