JSB is a great looking color and worth $750 for sure. Seems almost all factorys are charging $500-$1000 more for certian colors. I think you may need a light base coat or primer. I usually shoot a white or light gray primer under most everything except black or very dark colors. The spray can you have maybe a single stage with a clear binder. I usually shoot a clearcoat over metallics even if the spray can has a clear binder for added depth. What are you painting? Plastic, metal?
Well for now just a plastic front license plate holder. I think the ones they have a Pep Boys is black, so what would you suggest as a primer? I bought the spray can from GM, so I'm assuming its correct... Maybe Jetstream will chime in on what he did for his rear license plate holder..
Chris, thats for the pointer on the paint. I did see that also and made me wonder why so much for JSB paint..

Hmmmmm, how about....
Jim,
No apologies needed, you were indeed correct that my first post was not clear and I corrected that as you can see from the edit..... If we were in a bar or at the office, you'd probably know me and know what color car I have though.. Didn't ruin my day, no biggie....
Torch,
I'm not bitchin about the $750 for the JSB... That cost was a non issue for me.. The car is awesome in JSB..
I also bought a 5oz can of JSB, but now wonder if there's more I need to buy. From other posts it sure looks that way... Does someone have information on what is really needed and what the costs are??

from what I understand the 5oz can is the mid coat and to actually paint a panel you'd need base mid and clear coats which is way too expensive. The base is what's so high. You can paint small things with the 5oz and it'll look ok.
