    Thanks for your input guys. I’m a beginner doing my own stuff & some of the terminology is confusing. I found this thread, http://www.refinishnetwork.com/car-painting-how-to/item/346-how-to-paint-stripes on painting stripes. It recommends clearcoating the hard edge then wet sanding & clearcoating again. Would it be also be feasible to sand the hard edge separating 2 colours a little before the first clearcoat ?.

    Thanks again

    [quote=”ScottB” post=31049] Best way to avoid it is to use paint throughout, forget about vinyl stripes.[/quote]

    Thanks Scott,

    Can you give me any advice on how to achieve a 2 tone job with sharp lines & without a hard edge ?. Which tape to use etc ?. I did actually use line marking tape but was still left with a slightly raised edge

    Many thanks

    Sorry thought Id posted a pic !!!

    Here you go. The gold pinstriping has also slightly bubbled in places caused by a small “ridge” that formed when I did the white over the blue. Any tips on avoiding this ?.

    They say you [i]do[/i] learn from your mistakes !! :blush:

    Thanks again

    Hi Rikka

    Thanks for your reply which makes sense. The pinstriping has bubbled slightly in a few more areas.

    Nice RC8 by the way. I have an RC8R 2011. Awesome machines !!!
