Sinlge stage or 2 stage paint

If you shoot metallic single stage paint. it's pretty much a "ya get what ya sprayed and see" paint. no cuttin and buffin to smooth out the rough spots or it'll screw up the color making the metallic look mottled in places. with base/clear you can shoot you base, look it over and redo if you need to and then clear which you CAN cut and buff without too much problem. BC/CC is a lot more forgiving to a non pro sprayer. I'm not saying it can't be done but it sure is easier(at least for me):D.
