My objective is to have tape line edges, in the paint, smooth under a clearcoat. Basecoat tape lines could be minimized with sanding before clearcoat.
The problem is most paint systems prescribe a time limit between base coat and clearcoat for good adhesion. This is a real challenge for many reasons on air planes with large parts and intersections like empenage/ fuselage etc.
Spies Hecker ( really pricey ), allows indefinite time between base and clear but not if basecoat has hardener, which is suggested for chip resistance. Input from the braintrust would be appreciated.
