If you are doing a SEA camo Sandy, yes those colors make sense. As you probably know, the A-1s were originally Navy birds, and when produced, the standard wheel well color was gloss white (the Air Force later adopted this also). When the Air Force accquired and camoed the   A-1s, the bottom color was either gray 36622 or black. The wheel wells would be left in the orgional white color.

It should look like this:

OK, I forgot what color I used for the bottom. Confused [%-)]Laugh [(-D]

Ronald, 

I never think of it as 1 coat, 2 coats, etc. 

I paint it lightly, wait a couple minutes and give it some more paint until it looks even then let it dry and see. After covering it with Future and letting it dry the wash is going to darken it a little anyhow so don't worry about it looking perfect.

Thanks. 

Here's the top with the airbrushed oil streaks:
