Ive done some painting, but never 2 colors on a hood. How do you eliminate the paint line between the green and yellow colors? Some paint jobs look like they are cleared or wet sanded.
Thanks
 
If it were me after priming I would mask off the green area and paint the yellow. Then when that is dry mask off the yellow area with a stencil with the lettering and spray the green. Spray very light coats on the lettering or it will run under the stencil.
 
use a fine line masking tape, from your auto paint supplier to get a good edge. shoot one color then pull the tape, then mask with fine line again to shoot the other color.
 
The "some" you mention probably used base/clear system. The base coat is so heavy with solids that it takes only a mil to cover. So with that thin film build there isn't much of a line and then a couple coats of high solids clear over the whole thing. even without sanding/buffing there won't be a visible line.
