Back to the paint it's up to you.The "spayable paints are very nice since you don't have to do chemestry to paint your car.Candy colors are beautifull but anytime you have to use a basecoat to determine your final color means the top coat is very transparent and can easily turn out spotty.I would only trust candy to a experienced painter,don't want to mess up alot of expensive material.

I am going to spray the primer and maybe the base coat. I would always welcome pointers and tips.

Was also thinking of getting 2 or 4 ounce samples of the paint and test it first.

Not sure. I saw an episode of Search and Restore on Powerblock tv. They just did a restore on a 67 Mustang and did 7 coats of clear.

Alot of times the only reason to put 7 coats of clear on is if you plan on sanding and buffing.The least amount of material on your car the better.
