Re: Two Tone BC/CC methods

I have to say, personally, that "tape edge" is WAY over blown, and the funny part is when people worry about it on a restoration, the factory ALWAYS had a tape edge, two tones and stripes and such weren't buried under clear.

Honestly, it takes a LOT of experience to pull off a job like this if you were to paint both colors then clear over the whole thing, it takes a LOT of experience. I will bet a crisp ten dollar bill that the guy who suggested this at the paint store has never done it. To suggest to a newbe to do this is bad advice if you ask me.
