I know this ? has been asked alot ,but I was'nt able to find it in the search and I would like to know how much base coat ,clear,kandy and metal flake to purchase.HOC brand for a motorcycle frame, front & rear fender and gas tank.I'll figure the reducer and hardner per the HOK specs,The colors I'll be using are cobalt blue kandy over silver base and silver flames with a 1/8 pinstripe outline around the flames and adding silver micro flakes to the flames... but I'm not sure if I'll put a candy over the flames because I'm going for a brilliant silver flame.And one other of the many ? is after painting the base and masking the flames I want to out line the flames with the red I mentioned but wanted to know after painting the red I'll have to wait for the red to dry before I can tape the 1/8 up against the flame for the outline and wanted to know if I should scuff the red BEFORE I tape for the stripe because it will be dry and I'll be painting the center of the flames silver the next day "if time allows"and don't think that if I tape for the pinstripe that I'll be able to
