Just doing some research here, not ready for this stage, but I figure never to early to learn.
I want to paint stripes over the top of my 65 Mustang, when eventually painted. I have been watching a few videos and seen a couple different ways of doing this.
One way was to paint the entire car in the main color. For arguments sake lets say blue. And then tape and mask on the base coat (not cleared). Then shoot the stripe color, say white.
I have also seen where they lay down the stripe color in the general area of the stripes, like over the center of the hood, roof, and trunk. Then they mask off where they want the stripe to remain and shoot the main color over the entire car. Removing the mask at the end reveals the stripe. Some guys used a clear coat in between the colors, some do not.
So... the question is, what is correct? My 'guess' is shoot the main color, use intercoat clear, mask and shoot the stripe, then clear over everything. Mind you , I have no idea.... My main concern is having the stripe and main color look like they are two different heights.
Thanks!!
