Hi, I've been reading a bunch on different approaches to do stripes. Everything I've read is 2 colors - main color & stripe; I'm looking to do 3 colors - a main color (Magnetic metallic), and two stripes colors (Lightning blue with black pinstripes). Something like so:
How would you go about doing this? So far I'm pretty sure I want to spray the gray then clearcoat (as an intercoat) then wet sand and apply the stripes (so I can buy myself a bit of time and not mess up the basecoat applying tape). Assuming that, I see 2 options (well really, 4, if you switch up the order of the black and blue):
1) Spray the black, let it dry a few hours, tape off the just-painted black and remove old tape, and spray the blue. Let it dry and remove tape ASAP. Then spray clear over it all.
2) Spray the black, let dry & remove tape. Spray *another* intercoat of clear, wet sand, and spray the blue stripes. Let dry, remove tape, and spray clear.
Has anyone done a 2-color stripe like this before? Any tips? Option #2 seems a bit crazy with the clear, as it would end up being 3 applications of clear in total. Not sure what the best way to do this is.
Thanks
