bottom up or top down?

Hi
I just did some simple shellac re-wraps.
(pics soon)
one bike (paletti) had this crazy white with black splash italian tape,
since the bike is an off-white pearl with light blue airbrush,
white was used with the clear bullseye shellac.
after 2 quick coats, it matched the color of the white nicely,
will do probably 2 more though cause its still a little dry looking.

The other bike (schroder) had the old red wetsuit neoprene rubber sew-up grips.
I decided to keep with the red and after 4 coats it looks pretty slick,
will probably stop at 4 just cause it still has some coarseness to it.

My question is,

Is it more normal to do a bottom up roll with the cloth?
I saw on mkellers did a top down roll.

Just curious thanks.
