Two Tone Painting Question
I am an experienced painter. I've been painting cars for about 45 years. However, I am getting ready to do my first two tone job, and I wanted an experienced opinion on my idea. I am helping a friend with his 56 Studebaker Power Hawk. The entire car will be red, and the roof will be white as per the original paint job. The body is stripped completely down, on a rotisserie, and completely ready for sealer and paint. Here is what I was thinking on doing: Spray the entire body shell with sealer, wait 20-30 minutes and spray the roof with white base coat. Then wait about 40 minutes (paint instructions say OK to tape in about 30 minutes) and mask off the roof with tape and plastic along the exact line where some trim that separates the white and red will go, and spray the rest of the body shell with red. Then I will take off the plastic and tape, wait 30 minutes, lightly dust off everything with tack rag, and then spray clear over everything. I do not believe that waiting a little longer than normal to spray basecoat over sealer or clear over basecoat than normal will hurt. I think I can get it all done from beginning to end in 5 hours or less. Most time spent on waiting for flash times. What do you guys think?
