Some colors, specifically Cub Yellow, tends to be transparent. What I have on the bench will have a yellow top wing, and grey for the rest, A liberty Sport, so I was planning on painting it a single base color first, but not sure yet if it should be Silver, so thought I would ask first before buying it. Going to use Randolph for the grey, Sig for the yellow and other colors since I would only need a small amount, and the smallest Randolph is a quart.

So should I use Silver as the base for everything and apply my color coats over that? I was thinking to prevent bleed to apply a couple clear coats over the silver.
