Hi,
By buddy's hood on his 1970 Camaro came unlatched on the freeway and he has to get a new one. We want to paint the new one to match with silver base and black stripes/graphics like the old one. I painted my car last year and it turned out great.
However, I've never done stripes. Do I paint the base, wait a day or two, tape off then paint the stripes, then clear the whole thing? Or is it best to base/clear the silver, sand the area to be striped, then paint the black and clear over that?
Suggestions?
Question about painting stripes...

Would you recommend sanding the entire hood with 800 then re-clear the whole thing?

and do so while the BC for the stripes is still tacky-pull tape back on itself and a little angle away from fresh paint. ive done a couple as dave laid out and they came out great. |
just wondering if a intermediate clear would work to clear over your base color like dbc 500, sand that , lay out stripes then top coat clear ?
