Which color first?

[1970 Chieftain V]

I am getting ready to put some paint on the boat. I am painting 2 colors. White on the upper half and blue on the bottom half. Does it matter which color is painted first? The blue and white will be next to each other so I have to cover one with the other at some point. Any thoughts?

It's generally easier to paint over lighter colors than to paint a light color over a darker one.... So, if it were me I'd probably do the white first and then mask it real well when you do your blue

Ditto, concur, agreed and seconded.

That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure. Thanks for the confirmation.
