I’ve attached a generic aircraft paint job for reference to my question. I will be applying a two tone paint job with an accent stripe to an aircraft. After applying the base the product sheet says you must clear within a 24 hr window. I will not have sufficient time to apply all the colors and accents within that time window. I planned on using an intercoat clear like DBC 500 to give me time to tape off the second color and stripe before the final clear coat is applied.
Can anyone with experience using an intercoat clear share their experience using it as I’ve described?
1. The whole plane is prepped for paint
2. Spray a 6” area where the black stripe will go
3. Apply 1/2” fineline tape over the black
4. Spray the white base and allow to flash for an hour
5. Remove fineline tape and spray Intercoat clear over the white/black and allow to dry overnight,up to a few days if I get busy
6. Tape off the pattern separating where the white and red will go and mask all the white area
7. Spray the red base and allow to flash for an hour
8. Lightly scuff the intercoat clear
9. Apply 2-3 coats of high solids clear
This is my understanding of the way to use intercoat clear on my project. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
