My view is, todays paints are so much better than the paint the factory used 48 years ago, I would never use old school single stage on anything that's body color. Well, maybe floor pans and trunk floors for ease of application. If Steve uses base/clear on the exterior of the Duster, and lays the clear down as slick as possible......it may very well have the effect you are looking for as sprayed, minus the cutting and buffing. I don't know Steve personally, but he's been on Moparts since he was a teenager. He is an impressive young man, and I'll bet it was hard for him have that conversation with you about what the finished product you requested may look like. I'll tend to agree with him about the old technology vs new with paint. See what he says about maybe not cutting and buffing the base clear if you decide to go ahead with it in that direction. You could run look at it before he does it to see if what little orange peel in the clear may just be the look that you desire. If it does.....you end up with the best of both worlds. Good luck to you!
