by the amount of reducer that painter added i would say that all of you jobs end up with solvent boil or drop gloss like shit in about 1 month.at least your painters fuck every job consistantly.try 5%

i didn't know that a lot of mixing is in volved. but, i guess that's a good thang. how do you get tha cars a crispy shine fininsh. I always get little bubbly eyes.

@Bishop36122 u get bubbly eyes bc the surface is dirty before u spray on it...

jet black just looks deeper and more black in a singlestage urethane. blacks have as much shine with a clear coat but seem to lose some of the color richness but thats just my opinion. you really only need to clearcoat if you're spraying metallics. the only solid color I think looks better with clear are reds. white and black I would always use singlestage.

i agree B/C is the ticket, single stage just dosent last

You have to read the tech manual for the paint as all paint is different but usually 2 part paint 1 hardner 10% thinners

What are those handles on top of the paint cans called that allow you pour the paint as well?

In solids paint single stage is best but with metallic you need to use base coat clear to protect the paint from the buffer.

I have done auto body work for 34 years. The old lacquers with metallic caused problems but the clear act a a window.

single state is popular because it's easier (i.e. less work) then doing a B/C &C/C, and can come out very glossy. With base coat/clear coat to get a real good shine you have to wet sand, and thats a pain for a do it yourselfer in the garage who just wants a quick, decent looking paint job. I've seen some really sharo looking single stage acrylic enamel paint jobs.

@GCB1982 I agreee for sure. sinlge stage is a hell ogf alot less work. Some say it is more durable. I plan on using single stage.

btw anyone wondering about paint mixes. With a urethane its usually half paint and half reducer. Which removes the ned for thinners. thats urethane though.

single stage sounds like a cheap paint job...B/C C/C is the ticket.
