Frame Painting

I have been reading and enjoying the thread about Rattle Can Painting! This has me coming up with some question. I have a spray set up and booth since I am a woodworker. I am wanting to try my hand at base and clear automotive paint but have a question or two. I understand that there is a window of 24 hours after spraying the base that you must spray the clear or the surface needs to be sanded. Since I want to use a second color on the lugs or head tube I will most likely miss that window. I know I could ask the supply house but thought i would ask you guys what grit paper would you use? Also what tape for masking to do the lugs?
These type of posts are great for these winter days!!
