Paint color decided

Ok I have decided on a paint color for my 1949 f-4 , it will be meadow green, by know means do I like green but I've seen numerous photos and have seen Abe's truck which I believe is meadow green and I like it! Question though....is this a single stage base coat only or a base coat clear coat? Recommendations please!

That's a great choice, Joe! Mine was painted base/clear this winter.

Green will look good on the F4. That was my second choice on my F4, I decided to go with red as it was originally. I used DuPont Nason 2K urethane on my truck. I am not using a clearcoat over it.

Abe's truck does look good and that green is a nice color for our trucks. My family just had this discussion what color to paint our trucks and everyone had a opinion. Should i tell them all the paint has already been bought?
