Default Painting Question

I am currently painting my ctr spoiler, just rattle can roma red for now.

My question in what is the best way to paint this without messing up the side i just did.

My approach right now is to paint the bottom with a single coat, let that dry then flip it and paint the top. After the top dries do one more coat. Then flip it and do the bottom one more time.

Now not having done anything that required moving i am looking for any suggestions. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Why dont you hang it from the studs so you can do it all at once. Also put several light coats on. Dont rush into it and put a shitload on at once, more isnt better.

Completely forgot about hanging it for some reason.

I managed to take two hangers, hang those from some bikes hanging from the ceiling and then hang the spoiler on that

Thanks

Just go to the local paint store and ask them to put whatever color code you want into a rattle can. Ive done a few small pieces like this already and it works out just fine.
