First post here...
I’m building a Cobra replica, fiberglass body. I’ve been reading, studying & saving helpful info from the inter web for a year. I’m starting bodywork, so I have some time before I need to decide...
Is the SPI Matte Black a reasonable choice for a first timer? OR... Is the matte black really best for someone who is more expert at laying down the paint?
I’ve read most people say base & clear is best for beginner because of the ability to fix minor mistakes & issues.
I will practice on a couple old hoods and some trash cans (try to simulate curves and shapes like the cobra), but I know that alone will not get me to the skill of those of you who have spent years mastering your art.
I have good gun(s) & good air. I will be using one of the big inflatable paint booths (preferred) or renting a local booth (40 miles away and expensive). I’m not looking to paint a Barrett Jackson show car. I’m perfectly ok with something that only myself and an expert would see the boo-boos of a novice.
Thanks!
