old school is right single stage paint the clear is so thin its just not enough.im not to good with the whole computer thing but im gonna try and put some pic of my car up i just painted it 3 days ago.but anyway its single stage with 4 coats of clear trust me u dont want to do a single with no clear.
and one more thing im not gonna jump the gun and bash the painter but if he primes the car hes gonna have to lay down a couple coats of some kinda red base coat, then the single stage, then the clear.

Single stage DOES NOT use clear-- Base does. Thus the base/clear combo. Single stage means "one" spary session.

it came out wrong what i was trying to say is i painted my car with a single stage paint and single stage isnt enough so i started with with some blue paint because the car was a different color then i went over it with the single stage which was the main color,then 4 coats of clear. so in my opinon i think that just painting a car single stage with no clear and calling it a day to me isnt the way to go.

No, a good qaulity single stage urethane will gloss just as well as clear and last for years. I personally like black or any solid color in single stage,very deep.

I wouldnt do it, waste of money. Just save up for the right paint job, because later you'll just be yelling at yourself.
