[fordredneck]

paint it the color you want the stripes let it dry a couple days, the put tape on for stripes and paint it black, then pull the tape off slowly

[kane]

thats what i was planning on doing any way but thanks for the tip.

a couple days?? haha no man more like 24 hours some times even 12 hours..read the can it will tell you how long after you lay the paint you can sand it...thats when you can lay tape

[crunk rida]

if u over spray it, it might need a few days lmao.

Drying times are various depending on the type of paint. Enamel, Acrylic etc. In addition weather temp's and humidity should be considered. Dupli-Color automotive cans are also good with fast dry times, hard finishes and fine mists. Not a huge fan of stickers either.

You could paint the stripes like auto detail shops do. If ya you are going to have silver stripes then you should spray with a silver base. Mask off your stipes then spray over with your body color, after its dried then ya just peel off the mask.

Oh wait forget what I said, ford red neck beat me to it.
