Hello i am new here and am not a professional auto painter.I have painted around 12-15 overall paint jobs over the last 30 years using Dittzler laquer in the beginning and have shot Imron. Chromabase. Omni (both bc/cc and ss) Nasson ss and Limco supreme+ (ss and bc 64cc) I am painting my 1974 z28 type LT.for the 2nd time. I did this car back in 2004 using Omni and euroclear that the local PPG jobber sold me it came out pretty good after lots of color sanding and buffing and looked great considering this is a dailey driver. This time around i found SPI for clear and epoxy primer/sealer i found a automotive arts dealer that mixed some Motobase aqua blue poly base. I used pcl to block the whole car and then used spi epoxy to use as sealer. Sprayed my base color with 1cap of universal clear activator per sprayable qt(as recomended here)and then shot i coat of spi universal clear that is as far as i got today. My question is about doing my z28 (chevy ralley stripes) How long should i wait to tape the strpes and what tape to use? I would like to do this tomorrow if possible because i am using space some friends let me build a temporary booth in airplane hanger and would like to not outstay my welcome as much as possible.Also how long is the window to finish the clear over the black ralley stripes(also Motobase) any help here will be great. One last thing. I am never going to use anything other then spi cliear and epoxy or products other then what is recomended here. Because of following this forum while prepping my car i have had no issues with anything for the first time ever and i am really impressed how nice the clear flowed out without running or orange pealing. If i can get the clear over the stripes as nice as the first i will have much less work to cut and buff. Thanks SPI and every one here
