I've got a '75 Palma Green Metallic that is almost ready for new paint. I'm in the process of sanding down and priming. My question is with this metallic paint, is it best to go with a two stage color then clear coat than a single stage? My understanding is that you can't color sand with the metallic fleck in it. But I don't know so that's why I'm askin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

The attached photos are what I want the car to look like again.
