Tips on painting a 914 needed, Getting ready... Options

[Bogaat]

I am preparing myself for my first paint job. I have the car mostly ready and most of the materials purchased. I bought a set of the Devilbiss guns from Eastwood (and it came with directions). I am looking for advice on which areas of the car to paint first, in what order, panels to take off, etc. I am planning on painting the trunks, engine compartment and door jams as well. I already have the doors off. It would be great to do all of the painting in one day. I would also be interested in painting techniques as far as top to bottom or left to right when working on a panel. I obviously have some practicing to do before I slap the paint on. Again, all input is appreciated. I am planning on doing a base/clear. Here are a few shots I pulled off one of my other threads. They don't show much of the body, but it is basically primered in spots and the original single stage in others. I did have the rear reflector holes sealed up and a new battery tray installed. Thanks guys!

Get an old fender at a junkyard and some mismatched single stage paint at an autobody supply store and practice on the fender first. Spray that thing several times until you get it perfect. Then you're ready to paint the inside areas of your car. If those come out great, you can paint the outside.
When practicing, go through all of the steps. Sand it smooth, clean it with wax and silicone cleaner, tack rag it, blow it clean, and paint 3 shiny smooth coats.
Also, buy some tape and a roll of 18" masking paper at the autobody supply.
The blue tape is very expensive and doesn't work as well as the green 3M for car stuff.
