I prefer the single stage paints, usually in original factory colors.
They have the appropriate, oh, character for the cars.
Back when I was younger and more enthusiastic I had this idea
that I wanted three Spitfires - a street car, a show car and one to
race. And I had a paint scheme in mind, using four factory
colors - Delft Blue, Wedgewood Blue, Royal Blue ( a really dark
navy ) and Jasmine yellow. I did get one car painted in the scheme
I had in mind, check out the bottom photo on the page at
http://fatchancegarage.com The body is Jasmine, the LeMans
style nose strip is Delft, with a thin line of Wedgewood edging.
I did have a Mark 1 street car that I got started on, had a rough
coat of Delft on it to see if I really liked the color. I did, well,
still do.
Never did get more than one Spit running at a time, but I did
manage to get the air tank to match:
