depending how thick it is.
single stage might not always look showcar quality, but it will look fine 98% of the time. and its easy to patch paint later, or match aero and stuff like that.

plus, youd have to be careful to not burn through clear too.

Considering many vehicles left the factory with single stage paint and looked great, I wouldn't think it's a huge issue either.

Problem with shooting single stages is overspray. If your not carefull spaying them you will get flat spots.

I was speaking to the general public that reading this thread. But yea a buffing wheel and compound will fix most of the problems.

I liked the tiedie purple and gay chrome stickers.

Looked good at night...


I'm not a fan of the camo roof/twice tone bs, The car should be one color but if hes doing this for attention he'll get it good or bad. Im sure this paint job wont last long anyway.

I took some pictures of the paint chart I got from eastwood so you have a better Idea of some of the colors in sunlight. I'm thinking about doing the Rodz Berry Metalic on my car.
