sand the body
primer
wet sand primer
shoot the car all black.
mask off the top half.
lightly wet sand the black that you will paint over with silver
shoot silver
pull the tape
take a good 2000 grit and wet sand the line were you masked

2 tone is easy, it is when you get into multipul colors. right now i am in a dilema, on finsihing my f-150 4 tone truk.

PRetty good advice but I always shoot the lightest color first.
It also helps to spray a light coat of clear after you tape, this prevents color bleed under the tape. Anything that does bleed wil be clear and not noticeable.

YEs it is, thats how candy paint jobs are done, a base of silver or whatever and then the candy color.
Its best to paint the whole car the lightest color then mask and paint the darker. Otherwise you end up masking twice and trying to match the line exactly

do the bottom color last so the paint doesnt go thru the tape

Thanks for all your answers!

I understood what to do, but one thing still bothers me.
I'm sorry I ask that again and again, but I want to be sure not to make a mistake-
From my little experience (and its really little cause this corvette is only my 2nd kit), after usual paint get dried on sprayed paint- the usual paint can be easily removed (can't remember the exact word in English) by scratching it.

Is my experience, with that subject, is wrong?


Thank you for all your answers, and I'm sorry if I ask too much

A good coat of primer will help to keep the paint from lifting

What if I don't use primer? Is it still ok to paint the silver on sprayed black?

Yes but go back and read your own question, you asked how to stop it from peeling up. I replied a coat of primer will usually take care of that.
