Randy Powell or Mark Scarborough can likely give guidance about what you should put under the Candy Pink. As I recall, the standard rule is to put a warm base under warm colors and a cool base under cool colors. So, gold under pink or red, and silver under blue or green. I seem to recall Randy used a bronze base under one of his. Test panels will help with the decision! If you don't have a spray outfit, get one.
Back when I was in my teens and 20's I did some dyed clear finishes on FF (dope) and one B-proto speed model (epoxy). The dope finishes were brushed over same color of tissue paper, and looked almost metallic. I don't recall if that B-proto was sprayed or brushed, but I did learn that all of them needed a good fuel
proof clearcoat. I used Rit dye powder, mixed into thinner and then added to the clear dope or clear epoxy. I remember being shocked when the dye leached out of the epoxy when fuel contacted it.
