This may be a lame question, but in trying to avoid any unecessary screw ups...Still working on my P-47D Razorback...the main body color is Olive Drab the belly and underside are Neutral Gray. Would I be better off painting the entire fuselage olive drab, then airbrushing in the gray belly. Or should I paint the gray belly first, mask, then paint the olive drab ( I dont want sharp paint edges)
Thanks

Do the lighter color (the gray) first. That's a general rule for AB'ing colors: start light, then add darker.
