Painting frame?

quick question, im about to have a frame re-sprayed. do i have to do lug lining BEFORE it gets the clear coat? Or can i do it after? Is it going to peel or will the paint withstand abuse? I ask because it will be a pain doing 2 trips to the spray painters. Do i need the clear coat?

First, is it being powder coated?

If it is then no you don't do it before the clear coat (powder coating is done at high temps which will fuck up any paint you add).

Also if it is a gloss colour then you don't really need a clear coat (see mine).

If it is stove enamle then you do it inbetween colour and clear coat.

There are tips on how to do the lug lining... which I'm guessing you've found if you've found this?
