Sounds like a good plan for color and clear with the stripes. Depending on the clear your using you can tape shoot the white and reclear without sanding. And 1 coat of clear is enough to put the stripes on. You'll have better luck not feeling a paint edge with 3 coats of clear versus 2 coats. Also if you want it "straight" the clear is going to need to be sanded with at least 800grit. You'll spend as much time first sanding the clear as you did the primer.  |
