Painting

[Koenig, Tom]

I agree about clear over base..it can be a pain. It is quick though. I
unfortunately have gallons of the stuff..and I'm not changing systems until
I use it all up!!!

Down here its called PPG Cobra..the colours seem to be more vibrant than any
other system however.....looks great until the fuel gets under it!!!!!

In your case I would knock down the edges as you go, thats how I used to do
it with a previous paint system.
Van is on the money about pulling the tape once it has gone a little. As you
have shot the first colour already, pull the tape and then knock down the
edge, as Todd suggested.. For the following colours, do as Van
suggests...but you may still have to do a bit of sanding inbetween

Fear not ..it will work out ok. Good luck.

Tom
