Base/clear just doesn’t look right on a Model A. That being said…the majority of work with painting is done in the preparation. Also any mistakes or shortcuts taken in prep can ruin a good spray job at any point in the future. Sometimes bubbles and other defects show up months or years later.

To answer: Single stage urethane is also probably going to be more forgiving for many reasons.

From someone (me) who can do everything related to a restoration (from body work to upholstery), I choose not to do painting and leave it to the pros.
