i sometimes paint bonnets off, easier masking and you have a start stop point when your painting. depending on the color though, sensitive colors like silver or lightish metallic colors should be painted together, and flow coating done after if you want a wetter look...

vs statesman i did couple weeks back, painted bonnet off, as well as flow coated it....
