I have a hood ready for base coat and clearcoat. I will wet sand/compound etc. the clear (3 coats) on the top of the hood but just want to lay down one (maybe 2) real slick coat of clear on the underside and be done. I can hang the hood vertically, base coat it, then lay flat to paint the underside, then flip and apply 3 coats to the top (but may get over spray on the underside). Or, I can do the top first, then the underside and the over spray on the top won't matter. I don't think I can lay a slick coat of clear with the hood vertical. I'll be using a Sata 5000 Brp 1.3 for clear. I can heat the garage to 80+ if I need to dry the clear faster to get within the recoat window on the base.
I could base and clear one side at a time, then mask off and do the other side.
How would the experts do it?
