Hi!
what ive seen many paint the engine room first on the chargers.
We thinking of painting the engine bay , undercarriage and stop at the /b-pillars.
And later paint the rear end and roof. what do you guys think?
Is there any other paint to use on the roof if i will have vinyl roof later or just paint as normal?

Yes, it's usually better to paint engine bay and underside first,then trying to paint everything at once, that way you give more attention to the rest of the car instead of rushing to keep paint or clear wet ,these are big cars,not little Hondas

I painted the engine bay first, then later painted all the jambs (I omitted painted the bottom, just undercoated since its a driver), finally masked all jambs/engine bay and painted the outside last.
