The process depends on how much time and space you have. Painting each panel is easier and takes less space, but depending on the color/paint may not be the best. What color are you going to shoot?

I personally would never jamb a car since you can shoot the base hang the doors, etc then shoot the rest of the car, take them off and then clear. We use Spies Hecker paint and the base if not hardened can sit almost indefinitely without clear on it.

Depending on your skill level the marker would be a good guide for making sure you get all the waves, peel, etc out of the clear.

If its a heavy pearl or three stage you cant shoot the panels off the car. Well I guess you could, but I wouldnt.

Sharpie maybe ok on clear but I'd never use it. Maybe dry erase? Especially don't use on primer. Just wipe the water off if you can't see the orange in the clear.

i used to jamb cars too, but since have stopped doing it that way, i like to remove everything and shoot separately when possible. I dont think id use a sharpe when wet sanding either, doesnt sound like a great idea to me..
