After what seems like an eternity of block sanding and prep I am finally to a point that I can plan my actual paint job. The car is a 73 RS camaro that will be cortez silver (pro spray from Chad) with black rally stripes (HOK), universal clear. The car is in final 2K right now blocked with 600 wet, sighted straight with W&G remover. Once my garage is cleaned and ready and the car is cleaned and remasked it will be go time (I am sooo ready).
The car is completely assembled now to minimize issues with the metallic. I have based/cleared the jambs while the car was apart (to get some practice with the topcoats and make the nooks and crannies easier to get coverage on. They have been sanded with 600 and masked off through the 2K primer applications and sanding. I am planning on hitting the jambs with the last couple of coats of clear to blend with the body.

My plan is reduced epoxy sealer, silver, mask/paint stripes, 3 clear, 600grit sand, 3 clear.
One big question is time between steps, I need to get this thing done in a weekend. I was thinking sealer and base friday night, mask/base stripes saturday, and first 3 clear on sunday. Temp where I am should be around 60 to 65.
Opinions/advice would be very appreciated!
Sorry for the long winded post, input from the experts here has been incredibly helpful through this project, I hope the end result reflects it. Thanks guys!
