      The darker your sealer, the darker tinted your base will be and vise-versa. Since I'm not big on sealers, I would base everything in white first. Then you can sand out all the imperfections in the white base and prep it for the blue. Just be carefull not to tiger stripe the blue. Perhaps a light gray base would be better for the novice. I don't know why your worried about the isocyanates, a well ventilated area with a respirator and you'll be fine. I'd use the urethanes if I were you.

      I just hear a lot of really bad things about the isocyanates. I do plan on ventilating the garage with a fan and filters. I hope to make a paint booth from plastic sheets and pull air through it.

      When you say you are not big on sealers, would you just use the BC-25/26 on top of the primer? Perhaps 4 oz of black to a quart of white.
