Agree it's nice to have some extra material but Gadzooks 6 qts of base (1.5 gallons) for an early mustang?

Do you shoot with a siphon gun?

Just tryin to make a suggestion if he not painting the engine compartment or underside of hood and trunk 1 gallon should be enough I just like to always have a little extra just in case thats all. I used 2 gallons of base when i painted a 65 fastback recently granted it was a charcoal pearl but still i like to put 4 wet coats of base on even with a solid color and 4-6 wet coats of clear. gives it a deep shine just a personal preference.

What does the Laser Red base look like? I know that the factory Ford Laser Red is a tri-coat. not sure what it would look like without all 3 steps. But if it is a bright red; then it would look great striped over the black.

um no its not unless you use dupont lazer red and that tends to fade

in spies its a base coat clear coat.

OK, does it match the factory color fairly well. I have a friend that is needing his car redone and is having hell finding a shop to do it since the factory color is tri-coat. he is trying to avoid doing the doorjambs and engine compartment if possible.

I still think the black with laser red stripes would be killer. Try rendering with black wheel and a laser red lip.
