I'm leaning toward TCP for the base coat, for a few reasons, they seem pretty focused on the OEM restoration colors, ease of ordering, easy to order just the things I want and mix and match sizes, reducers etc. and I hate having to call people, I keep unusual hours , and their prices seem reasonable. I like the fact that they apparently do their own paint, rather than deal with a situation where someone is selling someone else's product, which can complicate things, specially when ordering something like vintage OEM colors.

I've downloaded and printed the SPI tech sheets for their primer and clear, and the "perfect paintjob" article.

Anyone have bad feedback on TCP?

TCP's product is 2:1 .. I assume that would mean I need more than one gallon of color?

Also, beginner question here ... these Urethane basecoats use the reducer as the catalyst? No separate "hardener" or catalyst required?
