Could you describe the sequence of steps you used to mask and paint this beauty?

Yes the sequence was yellow, green, blue and red.

But take in account I did not paint color over color. I carefully masked the body and painted yellow then a thin layer of acrylic clear coat, then blue and again repeating thin layer acrylic clear coat and so on....on this process for every new color to make the surface smooth.

At the end, decals and 2k clear coat.

Just to make clear that when I painted one color all the other colors were masked. When I clear coated with acrylic, so I did over the full body everytime do eliminate differences between layers.

I hope you understand, I dont know if my words make confusion.
