Hi everyone, I am finally to the base/clear stage after countless hours perfecting the body on my 68 mustang fastback (bought in 1990 as my first car). I will have used all SPI products except the basecoat. After seeing Wanda recommend on this site, I bought a gallon and 1/2 of Wimbledon white of the Wanda base.
This got me thinking, what makes a good or bad basecoat? I havent really found a straight answer. With all of the work I have put in, should I have chosen a “higher end” base? Would I be able to see a difference in the end?
I don’t mind spending more considering I’ll have this car as long as I am still breathing. Wimbledon white is a solid color creamy off-white, so far from a fancy color. I have been shooting for “show quality”, so I want to know I am not compromising with the base. FYI, I’ll be using universal clear on top. Any thought? thanks
