I'm 50/50 on which way the stripes can be laid down. Under the clear is a nice custom touch, but over the clear is more period correct, and gives the correct look and feel. As far as waiting times, it's been a few years, but you should be able to lay tape on basecoat within around two hours to be safe, maybe sooner you just have to use your judgement, since basecoats flashes pretty quickly. On the other hand, you can't let the basecoat sit for 24 hours, then clear it and expect it to hold together. You have a certain window from basecoat to clearcoat.
