What have you used in the refinishing you have done in Sublime?

I am using that color and am not kverly experienced (understatement) as a painter. I am leaning toward Base coat/Clear coat rather than a 2 part. Thoughts?

Jeff I wished you lived closer. I am not the best at restoring a car and like to do things my way and am sure you have heard it all from a lot of guys that say they know what they are doing. so you have to decide from all the paint guys out there the best way to go.
Base clear is more expensive but more forgiving in buffing out all the dirt as far as I am concerned.
The hardest part of a paint job is to fallow the manufactures spray coat times as to when to put the next coat on according to temp. If you do not wait long enough you will get bubbles in the paint job after it is done. the paint has to dry in between coats if not you get solvent popping and could make the clear coat peel off or if you wait to long between coats.
Not trying to scare you just giving you my experience. I know you will do a good job.
And just one more thing if you can put up with me rambling on. When you get ready to paint the car if you are not using a paint booth I might be able to help you keep the dirt down off the car, let me know and I will ramble on some more.
