There is a couple of other ways to layer flames. I prefer the clear coat layer, but lets say that you want you lower set of flames to come up over your top layer of flames. One way is to layout a set of flames, paint 'em, unmask and then carefully layout the second set, but taping off your first set of flames (the second set will actually look like it's underneath the first set that way). I have found that by doing it this way, freehand pinstriping is a most likely neccessary. Now lets say the lower set has a few tips going over the top set of flames. AFTER you completely mask out the second set of flames and you make an area over lapping your first set of flames, you go in and sand down the part of the first set of flames visible in the taped out area with 600 or close to grit sandpaper. BLOW off the area you sanded to get any little particals out of there and airbrush away. If I'm just doing two sets of flames with no overlapping I just clear after the first set and let it set for the rest of the day. The deal with the above though is it saves you on clear and the time waiting for clearcoat to cure before moving on. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sunglass.gif
