On solid colors single stage is really easy and you wont notice much difference.
On basecoat/ clearcoat (bc/cc) you really NEED to use this on metalics or pearls or similar, because if you have dirt or orangepeal or maybe a small run, you can sand down the clear, but if you sand down metalics or pearls then it causes differences in the finish and it looks horrible. Overall there is not much difference in the finish of clearcoat vs singlestage. The main advantage is cost. You dont have to buy a clear gun (harbor freight will work for spray guns, just get their HVLP guns with 1.3 tip if you can find it, 1.4 will spray a lot of material and you'll have to move very fast with clear) , and you dont have to buy the clear, So its an overall cost savings of well over $100 in materials. |

Thanks . Is that a signal orange? Is there a special finish on it. It looks different then the ones I've seen . |
