Painting Cab

Getting ready to paint my 1952 cab, bare shell. Wondering best way to do it, inside and outside together ? Or spray inside then mask off and spray outside separate ? Concern is controlling overspray, seemed to get alot on the dash when priming. Shop ventilation is pretty good, have a wall exhaust fan that pulls over spray fairly well. What worked for you guys ? Thanks much

Re: Painting Cab

Paint the inside first I painted mine in sections so I could control over spray

Re: Painting Cab

If it's all one color, paint it all at the same time, otherwise get ready for a lot of masking.

Re: Painting Cab

I painted inside first. Later, I painted the door jambs and firewall. Going to put doors and fenders back on before painting exterior. It is a lot of masking, but the plastic sheet masking for automotive helps. To me, it's easier than not dragging hose through wet paint.

Thanks for the advice guys, think I’m going to do it all in one. Seems to make the most sense for my situation.
