Well I'm no pro so may get shot down but do a lot of diy bodywork on anything but the x5 but I think if I were attempting to replicate that I would spray the whole thing red, then leave a while then mask up the red flat off where the blacks going then spray the black, before flatting any edge back and clear coating it all, may be wrong but that's how I would attempt it!

Yeh well I would do that because its about 50\50 coilour wise but black will cover red a lot easier so I woul do the light colour first
