White over black a problem?

The paint job i'll be doing will either involve a stencil of a graphic i've designed, or the negative of it. The graphic will be white, while the rest of the bike is black, so will it be a problem to do all the black first, then lay on the white? As far as stencils go, that would be the easier way. If I have to lay on the black after, I would have to tape off the stencil it would just be more of a pain.

Also, what are a couple of sites I can go to look for some -ok- quality paints, basically a step or two down from house of color.
Thanks for any suggestions.

You won't have a problem. Just be conscious of how much white you are applying. You could get a pretty healthy edge on your graphics if you don't watch it.

As far as where to buy paint, I guess TCGlobal is a site you can buy paint from. I have ordered from them before and they have decent prices.

In the process of buying paint now, have most of my prep work done so its about time. I need a bit of help because I dont really know all the terminology.

Item Detail Thats the main black paint i'll be using, with a white for the graphic. However it will be done using an airbrush, so do i need a reducer for the paints? I have a size 5 tip, which is over 1 mm. Also, im unsure of the term "sealer" I would of thought it would be a overcoat to the paint to "seal" it. However it keeps saying to apply before colors. Is it needed? And also, is the sealer a primer, and if not what should I look into? Also for the clear coat. Its on a bike so I need a good one that will hold up for any gas splash on the tank. And would anyone happen to know how much I need? Would a pint be enough for 2 fenders and a tank?

Guys already have helped me out a ton, so this is nearly the final step. So thanks ahead of time.
