Here in the Bay Area I am told that single stage original paint is not available due to VOC.

Is this just a Bay Area thing...is it available anywhere else nearby? Sacramento...Modesto...Santa Rosa? Nevada?

I am being told that 2 stage with a clear coat is all I can do...I hope there are other options.

What advice can you give me?

I wish PanelMaster Rick O was nearby... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Ouch.

Thanks for all the great responses all.

Andrew...Who is the good painter in Modesto you can recommend?

Is the 1-stage urethane the way to go now if enamel is not available?

Rick...I would dig it big time for a 914 brother of your skill to work magic on this...Maybe it would pay for your trip...but you would be here to play, not work and I wouldn't want to impose.

Yes, the single stage urethane is far better, more durable and repairable than enamel. Chemically dries The trick is getting your code. But Black should be easiest. I'm on the fence about coming the the WCR. It's one week before my sons wedding. I have to play it as it comes. But as far as calling what I do work? Nay, it's actually fun to see how things move back into place.
