Default Another Solatex Technique Question/Advise

o I am covering a Citabria Pro with a white base Solartex.
- Should I also paint the base white and then paint the red stripes on (ie: on the wing) or only paint on the red stripes.
* I am concerned with peeling off the white base coat when masking for the red stripes........I suppose I will have to wait a day or so f
or the paint to cure before masking and painting the stripes.

o Clear coating the edges of the masking tape will leave an edge where the tape has been removed. How is this prevented or
removed?
- Is the edge removed or filled when the clear coat is applied?
- Don't do anything until after the final clear coat is applied to everything then rub-out the paint for a smooth final finish?

Thanks for your advise and suggestions.
