This Terry's Model Rod Shop video goes into the basic of how the base coat of paint effects the final color topcoat.
This is especially true with candy's (transparent tinted paint) but it also holds true with regular colors as well,(example such as bright yellow will be a darker mustard color if you use a darker base coat)
In this video i show some spoons i painted with different base colors, primer gray, white, silver, gold and dark cherry red metallic which i then top coated with dupli-color metal cast red (which is basically a transparent red)and you will see the difference in the final color by which base color i used!
Also as a bonus i show a few models which were painted with a gold base and topped with a transparent brown used for flowers.
The 37 ford was built by my wife and painted with 10 or so coats of brown to give it a nice candy root beer color, i built the hearse and used the same brown but only applied 3 or 4 coats and it gives it a nice warm wood look!
