Finally got the longhorn box primered today and will start with the white center band tomorrow. I have noticed that some people paint the box the body color totally and then paint over that with the white center band . what are the preferences of those on the board and your reasons. I guess I paint the center band white so if I get a chip it won't be the other color under. This is my second time on painting the box(white band) as the first time I rushed it I guess and the paint started cracking in a few spots. I had to sandblast off the center band and start over. Man that s^&*s.
Hope for a smooth paint day tomorrow!
