Default Quick Painting Question..(Which Color First??)

Hi, I have a new truggy bod for my Losi Muggy.. I want the main color to be orange, but with some - yet to be determined - black trim....

It would of course be easier to paint the orange and just mask off the black trim parts.. But then I would be spraying black all over on top of the orange, in effect backing the orange with black..

This is bad I presume??..

Any easier way than having to mask off all the orange parts? I guess it'd be easier to paint orange, then mask over the orange while painting the black trim, than to start off masking off all the to-be-orange parts and painting the black trim parts first...

Gonna be rattle cans..

In most case try to do dark color first cause like you said you dont want to be backing orange with black
