I have seen primer and base coats on full car, with masking for final and clear coats (outside only). If painting a "metal" interior classic you may or may not put on as many coats on interior as exterior. If the interior has more leather/vinyl trim covering a large portion no need to have all the coats. Is the interior ending in the same color for exposed metal areas. So it may be a tending toward the vehicle itself. | |

| Oct 11, 2016 at 15:49 | comment | added | Nick C♦ | I'd assume it was because they will spray the inside and outside separately, and don't want any non-blended overspray between the two? | |
