Spray painting the molded chassis

I spray painted the underside, wheel wells and engine compartment flat black. I then did a quick spray of flat grey in the engine compartment. I didn't worry too much about overspray for the grey since this will be a grungy car when I'm done and grey will be part of the dirt process.
The engine compartment is supposed to be the same color as the exterior, however, so I needed to do some masking before doing that part. I used the bag from the wood siding to cover the majority of the molded chassis (reduce, reuse, recycle!). I then taped off the wheel wells and front portions of the underside. I always wear a latex glove and hold the pieces in my hand when spray painting for better control.
I sprayed a quick layer of flat white, not worrying too much about getting into the recesses. The black, then grey, then white layers will create some depth under the final paint color before I even get to the aging process.
