no..PPG base clear..
it started out i removed the vynl top because i thought i had rust under it..
i didnt but after removing the top ..i had my paint supply color mix me some paint to finish the top and i was gonna blend it at the b pillars.
but the first application(mix) was much lighter.
so the second color was pretty much spot on..
but since the roof was already shot in the lighter green i went and did the scales with the darker matching body color..i was thinking it might be hard to blend new color to the old on the b pillar.
but with the scales ending..i could camoflauge it.
i ended up sanding and painting most all of the car ..except the hood...(i planned on a glass hood)
i would do a base color-main body color first..
then do the graphics ontop of that..
either of these could be auto air..?
but auto air could also be applied for the graphics over the conventional base paint..
ive never had an issue..except the base color if its solvent base may need to be cleared in a timely/window..
the auto air doesnt have to be..FWIW
