Bonanza Paint Process

[mdeml]

Good evening everyone,
I've got my BC1300 disassembled. Going to have the frame media blasted and am in the dark about how to proceed with prep, painting and finishing the frame. I have not worked with metal before and plan on painting it myself. Thanks to 1stlegendtx and delray I think I'm going with Duplicolor in Chevy Corvette Nassau Blue. My question is, what is the recommended order or steps of the process for repainting? More specifically, any additional prep needed after media blasting, priming, any sanding between coats, # of coats, dry times, etc.
TIA,
Mike
