Hi....have read all 100 plus pages and taking the plunge. I do have some questions regarding decals.

I read that after final buffing and polishing that the polishing compound has to be removed for the decals, pinstripe tape, etc., to properly adhere to the surface.

My question is this...should/can the decals and pin striping tape be applied before the final polishing?
It would seem that this would be a much easier route as striping tape is so thin.

Question #2....I am painting a VERY large vehicle, a Dodge Ramcharger, with a lot of surface area. Should I do panels, doors, etc. separately?

Thanks for all the great info and kudos to all who have contributed their experiences to a great topic!
