As you can see, the 64 Dart is getting ready for a repaint. After doing some research I'm leaning towards using single-stage paint since I want to go for a more vintage look. I've heard people have good luck with PPG concept.
Since I won't be painting it myself I was wondering what I should look for in a painter and how many coats to apply. I've never painted a car but I've heard single-stage can be a little tricky to apply.
Also, would you put a clear-coat or 50/50 clear/color mix over the single-stage for added protection? I've also heard of putting a mist coat (10% color w/ 90% reducer) as a top coat.
Just looking for a little guidance from someone whose done this before.
Also, if you have a picture of your single-stage paint along with your technique that would be great.
Thanks!
