If you want to get paint layers of similar thickness, mask of your stripes and paint black, then mask of all the black and paint your stripes (yellow then red).

Good advice. (DasWiesel meant to say "mask
off," not "mask of.") Before applying black, I would apply white primer to
both areas you plan to stripe. Then mask the white stripes off very carefully, paint the car black, and paint
both colors over the white primer. (Red also looks muddy and dark when you apply it over black.)
There's a pretty big risk of paint seeping under the masking tape. Use good tape, like Tamiya or Micron. Then use a smooth, rounded tool end to burnish the tape edges before painting. I use one of my wife's knitting thingamajigs.
If the stripes turn out thicker or thinner than the rest of the car, you can sand the edge a bit and even out the surface by applying a clear coat to the car.
