How long do you wait after painting to pull the paint and about how many coats per color?

[vanhalen5150jhs]

@Marshallstack3203 after painting i wait 1/2 to 1 hour before pulling the tape. i usually spary 3 coats to get a solid color. on the black i try to just do 1 coat. so it's not so thick.

[Marshallstack3203]

@vanhalen5150jhs So do you wait the 24 hours for the paint to dry and then wait an hour or a half hour after that to pull the tape?

[vanhalen5150jhs]

@Marshallstack3203 spray primer wait 24 hours. spray white coats wait 24 hours. lay the tape design then spray the red, wait 1/2 hour then pull the tape. wait 24 hours then lay the tape design for the black tape, then spray the black, wait 1/2 hour then pull the tape. wait 48 hours before starting the clear coats. start with very thin coats. if you get a run in the clear in the beginning it may make the color coats run aswell. after the fist 5 or 6 coats it should be ok.
