A little more about the paint scheme and layout:
1.) The gloss and semi-gloss (confirmed that with the old man last night) paints are both black.
2.) The pinstriping was red, blue, white, grey, or silver, depending on when I base the car on. (That car got repainted more than most women paint their nails.)
3.) As for layout, it was mostly gloss black, but the standard HEMI stripe/graphic on the rear quarter panels was done in semi-gloss black with pinstriping all of the edges (including the letters), as well as the fat stripe up the middle of the hood (which was continued over the roof and trunk).
I really wish I had a picture of the car, because there are details I know I am forgetting after almost 30 years. That car is probably the reason I love muscle cars to this day (and the first vehicle I ever went 100+ mph in. Dad basically put all of the performance components of a Superbird into the Roadrunner body, and left out the front nose and huge wing in the back. (He always said if he wanted wings on his car, he'd build a plane.)
Back to the topic, where I am running into issues is the pinstriping between the gloss and semi gloss black sections. I am thinking about doing it like this:
1.) Draw out the stripes and graphics on the body after primer
2.) Lay down the pinstriping color (probably going with silver or white, but not 100% sure) except the letters in the HEMI graphic and a layer of gloss clear to prot.
3.) Mask off the pinstriping (basically define them with 1/64" tape and leave the masker on until the final coat of gloss.)
4.) Paint (airbrush) everything else with gloss black and a layer of gloss clear.
5.) Mask off everything that needs to stay gloss black.
6.) Lay down dullcote for the semi-gloss areas.
Another area where I am struggling is how to fit the sanding in that I am going to need to keep the coats even and deal with possible orange peel/paint issues. I think I should buy stock in whoever makes Purple Power, because I see myself going through about a gallon or ten of it on this car.
