Harmonyards finally somebody understands.  You are right high end finish is base clear. I would rather do nothing than mess up a old tinplate with what I refer to as spray bombs. I have most materials (not like a body shop) just lacking a good color base coat. Dont even think about cost factor, availability is my issue now. Even at that, blue comet blue comes in many different shades depending on year.  I plan on a 263 if I can find the right color. Would consider even a single stage of quality. Thanks for the responce.  Having a body shop is Big as you probably know, even at that, cost for materials has gone up, you can pass that on in repair bill.  Roy O

Well, if you have some materials, like clear & hardener, you’d be surprised how little of an amount of certain colors you can buy,….complex colors with flakes and pearls, sometimes half pint is minimum, but a pastel like Blue Comet blue you can buy in very small quantities ready to spray, in other words, the paint store will mix the color, and add the reducer for a product ready to dump in a gun and spray,….( strain it first) ….I did a 400E like that in black,  just barely mixed enough to do the job,….like less than 1/4 pint of color,…that’s only like 20-25 bucks worth of material before clear…….I’d check with your auto paint supply store and see what kind of materials are available, ….some sell clear coats as well, in quantities less than qt. size,…..I’m not a fan of single stage on anything …….base/clear to me is so much more vibrant,….and durable,….
