I painted my 27 roadster with base/clear, and I didn't see any real big differences from acrylic enamel. Don't expect to get any shine out of the base application. It loads on the car kind of like the old nitrocellulose laquer, (or laquer base primer). It flashes off quite rapidly, doesn't have any shine to it,and doesn't seem nearly as susceptible to runs as acrylic enamel----just be sure you give it the recommended number of coats and get uniform colour coverage. The clear is a bit fussier, mainly because it is clear, and you can't see it going on very well. I found that you almost have to paint by feel (you will know what I mean if you have painted much). Follow the paint manufacturers recomendations to the letter. Be really carefull about your mask and ventilation---this stuff seems much more "invasive" than any acrilic enamel I ever used.
