Oh for sure yeah.

My general process, just from watching dudes do motorcycle tanks on YT has been,
primer
base
mid coat with flake
clear

....cure for a couple days and sand with like 800

tape, and airbrush any graphics.

2k clear again.
Polish if im feeling ambitious.

Ive seen where people will put 2k clear on it, or do more stages of clear base to lock down graphics, before they do more stuff, but Im an amatuer and try to keep it to a single layer of the fun stuff.
