Picture 53 blew me away! Thats an awesome job!
To avoid the bleed from your second coat of paint, try this...
Paint the light colour first.
Mask off, and use a blunt tool, to bind down the edge of the tape. I use numerous things, including a wooden coffee stirrer with round edges. Don't use anything sharp, especially metal.
Now, give it a quick coat of clear.
Leave the tape on, and allow the clear to dry.
Once dry, shoot the next coat.
You can remove the tape once the top coat is dry.
Some people mention an edge, or a ridge, but that, I've never noticed it in any of my builds?
You can be the judge on that.

A tip or sneaky trick, if you like, for doing rubbers around windows:
I sometimes use a Sharpie permanent marker, once the clear coat has been applied. You can get various nib sizes, and I find that it helps? I also use an exterior waterproof woodwork glue, that dries clear, on my clear/glass parts. It takes a while to dry, so I leave them overnight.
That van is looking good now, with those decals on, keep going 🙂
