Curious- base coat vs acrylic urehane for base

^^^I agree 3 qt always equal 1 gal. cost wise. Yes I was pricing PPG ShopLIine bc/cc . I would buy SPI clear though. I bet you are right it will not over a well as higher priced stuff. I can order TCP Global cheaper, they are just so darn slow, and with the Covid19 slower yet I bet, but is a marathon, not a race!!! I have a 2 horse slant and the hood,etc. to do on another car. It all adds up!!!
I did a 76 Volare RR last fall in the spitfire orange met. in acrylic urethane single stage. Turned out good for met. Took 1/2 gal in AU ShopLine. 2 coats, would have done 3rd coat but my fresh air system was getting fouled and that chit kills me. It turned out pretty good.
