Guys,
I'm not shure what you are after but I tell you my experience on the stripe.
The stencil is designed to paint color of the stripe first, than apply the stencil and apply regular body color. My painter wanted to use a sealer on the sanded primer but this gives a narrow window to apply a top coat. We decided to paint the car color so we had no issues with the sealer and then masked off the stripe. We had plenty of time to mask on the basecoat compared to the sealer. After the stripe is applied to the car and on top of the color, we clearcoated over everthing. There was a visable step from the diferences if paint thickness but after the paint was baked, we sanded the strip area flat,being careful not to break through the clear, then recleared. The end result was a nice flat level surface with no edges or raised paint for polish and wax to stick to.
