    I was wanting to do a high gloss red on my 76 grand lemans. Tape off my design and then shoot a satin black. The issue comes to clear coat. The gloss and the satin requires two different styles of clear. Any way to accomplish this.

    X2! However, you will end up with an edge this way, no way around it.

    Easy way to minimize the edge. I lay out the area of the stripe, put my fine line tape last. spray the area as needed and when done pull the fine line surrounding it right away. The clear will roll over and leave virtually no edge. I two toned my fathers new Dodge Challenger this way, No edge to speak of.
