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.

When we painted my daughters car two years ago, we got two stage paint that wasn't available in our "Air Quality District". We had to go to a paint shop in Sonora to get it. I found a Russian guy who works at a paint shop down in Fresno who paints cars on the side (His boss lets him do side work at the shop).
He did a beautiful job (made my body work look really bad). He has done many jobs for my dealer friend in Sunnyvale. Most were body and paint under $2000
Let me know if your interested and I'll dig up his phone number for you.
Good luck, Chris
