[Spits] Paint: Single-Stage or Base/Clear?

[Doug Braun]

Hello,

I'm slowly approaching the point where I need to buy the paint for my
Spit.  I'll be
re-painting it in the original Pimento color.  Does anybody have opinions
on single-stage
vs. base/clear?  Will base/clear look out of place on a 1972 Spit that I am
trying to
keep authentic-looking?  Is b/c significantly harder or easier to apply
than single-stage?

I have previously painted my '31 Ford with single-stage, since clearcoat
looks strange
on a "correct" antique car.  But I have no experience with b/c...

And BTW, I have a forced-air breathing setup suitable for acrylic urethane
paint...

Thanks,
Doug
