Default Does this sequence sound good?

New to airbrush, have had the equipment forever, but finally getting my gal to do it. I had an outside woman doing it, but she is unreliable and it's easier if we just do it ourselves. The other woman was going to train us for a really high fee ($500 for 4 hours) and I figure we can just do it ourselves and use the $$ to put toward product and solution.

The woman I am having do it is one of my regular employees and knows her way around an airbrush as she used this medium for her art in the past.

From reading and formulating our best strategy for coverage came up with this:
FRONT

Face/neck first head slightly tilted back
Chest area
left arm outstretched, left arm palms up to get under/side of body
repeat right arm
Abs
front of legs (bending slightly at knee when doing that area), leg inverted to get inside thigh area
into feet (pulling away)

BACK

neck
back into waist
outstretch arms to get back of arms
back of left leg
back of right leg

Does this sound good? I know everyone will differ slightly, but I'd like to get a somewhat uniform sequence going.

I am using airbrush vs. HVLP because of noise issues.

This is what we do:

Client stands facing tech with arms outstretched and legs apart. Start on right foot and work up and down from right to left on each leg. Then up and down on the torso, chest and neck. Then side to side on the torso, chest and neck. From there do the arms.

Have the client turn around and do the same on the back as you did the front.

Have the client turn to the side and stand with far leg stretched to her front and back leg stretched to her back with the arm closest to you stretched toward the ceiling. Spray the side all the way down and then the inner leg. Have client turn and do the same on her other side.

Face front. Check front and then do the face last. Check under the chin.

We also have the client hold their hands out in front and do a check to be sure they were done well.

Every manufacturer has an opinion, Paasche's is good also..

Starting with back of legs up
left arm out into back into right arm
neck

Front of legs, inner thighs
Abs
left arm ourstretched into chest into right arm outstretched also palms up in the air to get sides and lift fat and boobs
neck/Face slightly tilted brush pointed down to avoid getting into nostirls.

I like this way also.

I'll try your way out also Kathe, Thanks

Just find the way that is right for you Jeff and stick with it. It's pretty easy after a few sprays. You'll find your way easy enough.

Stomach, up and down, side to side
Chest and neck (head tilted back)

right arm

back of left arm

client turns to side

do side of arm up and down
Client puts arm up overhead, do side of leg and stomach and chest
repeat on other side

client turn towards me, spray face twice over
Have client turn right leg out to the side so I can spray inside of their leg and thigs, repeat on right leg.

i shade in extra between boobs for girls (gives appearance of clevage), underneath butt cheeks (gives apperance of round butt)
