Currently spraying my mates bike, going base white and base black. Now I know that white and black make great under coats for helping colour really show up, but I am in a qaundry.

Do I paint the black first as a base coat and the white on top, or do I go for the white first, then black over that?

Not really sure what you're trying to do but in terms of paint coverage,white over black will take a lot more paint to cover than the black over white

Unfortunatly had to do the black first, as it would save alot of pissing about later on, and for the second time in 6 years or so of spraying I god damn vapour locked some primer
