I got some good advice and decided to follow it.  My fear was that with the different colored primer, I might end up with different tints of yellow.  I picked up a quart of PPG Deltron white base coat... $80 and after another 6 hours of getting ready, shot the whole car in white.  I got three coats out of that quart.  After the white, I washed out the paint gun and started mixing the yellow.  It really turned on with the white base coat under it... it kind of glows. 



now the first coat of yellow...




After another 4 coats...




I had to stop a few times to wet sand the bugs that found their way into the paint.  The good news is, after a little attention with the 400 grit and some water, the next coat perfectly covered the spot.  When I pour the clear to it tomorrow after laying out the stripes, it'll really shine.


I'm happy.  It took me about 6 hours of spraying to get it to this point.  I'm pooped.
