    Hey Timmy. Waynne tells me you are the man to solve my dilemma.
    Heres the problem.
    I am a very accomplished sprayer in 2k solid, clear over, met, pearl etc etc.
    I want to do a tri colour paint job on a Mk1 escort but i want to use base coat metalics/mica within a flatted solid white panel and i want to bury any hard edges between colours in the clear, however. When i spray met base, there are rules that i stick to and not sure how to get round them for this job.
    I will be using fine edge masking tape and the met colour coats will have a final drop coat pre clear. I was hoping to spray in all the colour coats and then clear the entire panel to bury it all.
    1) How to protect the individual colour coats whilst i mask off for the colour changes?
    2) How long can i leave the base coats before i clear? (inter coat adhesion)
    3) How long dare i leave the masking on between colours so as not to peel the edges off.
    Hope it made sense. Nick.
