Who makes good paint?

On the single stage vs. base clear. As mentioned, if you have a metallic color your are screwed. You spray it and it is as is, forever. With non-metallic it's an option, albeit an economy one.

As far as base goes, while quality isn't really the topic when talking base, color is. again, look at a cheap black vs. a quality black. You'll be looking at a brown car. PPP line Omni Code 99 black is actually brown. Dark *** brown.

As far as top coat, this is where you want to drop your coin and not skimp. This is your protectant and durability.


Another option no one mentioned is multi coat single stage with progressive amounts of clear added. Unsure if you guys have ever done this or seen it done but it's one of the deepest paint jobs you'll ever see. Will NOT work with metalics.
