The Great Paint Debate

[JJaranson <JJaranson@aol.com>]

One thing about to add about the base coat/clear coat option.  While these are
the system of choice for modern cars with the heavy emphasis on metallics and
the like, I personally would not and won't use one on my Fastback when I paint
it because chip and scratch repair is more difficult.  You almost have to
repaint the whole panel again to get it right.  Probably why it was $400
dollars to repair and repaint the parking lot rash on my 97 Mercury Mystique
fender.  Just my 3 cents worth.
