Re: Newbie Paint question, White lines around panel lines.
This is a common problem with Tamiya colors painted over light primers. You must resist painting too quickly, light mist coats are best, and even better is transferring it to an airbrush where you can really atomize the paint so much finer so that this isn't a problem. I had similar problems w/TS 51 or 53 (can't remember) dark blue metallic on a Ferrari model, even when I was reaaaaalllly careful spraying it. The panel lines aren't white, but they are slightly lighter than the areas around it. Clear might make it worse if you spray it on too heavily, as it slightly melts the layers below it.
One idea would be to do the white primer, and then a solid (non-metallic or pearl) base coat of dark blue, make sure it's dry, and then a few coats of the metallic. I did that all the time when airbrushing enamel metallics which never covered well w/o a base coat in a similar solid color.
