What colour do you do first?

I tried silver, black then red and they arnt very crisp. Will be NitroMors'ing it again and re-doing it.

this is how i would do it and have done it in the past .
see the pics of the two tone mk2 escort i done for alancdavis a few pages back.
spray the whole car in the lightest colour first.
this is the important part - leave it to dry/harden for at least 3 days.
then mask up the area to be left in the light colour and spray the dark colour then put next to a heat source for 2 mins , remove masking tape and place near heat source again leave to dry/harden over night .
the red stripe i would use a pinstripe tape as to try and spray it on it is too narrow and will bleed into other paint.
hope this helps .
