base coat

We used a base coat of highlighter pink.

“Hmm. Probably should start with a base coat,” I said, ignoring Wynn.

“My uncle owned a repair shop. I can fix about anything, from toasters to cars. But when I was a kid, I ran my own side business fixing up bikes. Now, you’re right about a base coat. That’s what the primer is for.”

Plus, it looks fantastic, no matter what color your base coat is.

But I do feel like you have to lay down a base coat of competence before you can start doing all the other things.
