Yeah I used black, you could use anything you wanted, red base, burgundy, silver, grey, black, gold. out of the sun the boat will take the color of what base you use. Just get some good clear and mix flake in it. I put 3 coats of flake. Then 3 coats of top clear on bottom. Prolly put more flake on top. Used ppg paint and clear. About 500.00 for whole boat
