I am ready to shoot my trunk and door frames, and soon the engine bay too (just have to pull the motor). Is it better to shoot these areas in single stage? I am planning on base/clear for the exterior but was looking to save a bit of $$$ by using single stage in these areas.
Also wondering if I can do single stage with the underside of the hood and trunk lid.
Also I have the trunk stripped to bare metal, (lots of work!), and planning on doing the same for the engine bay. Can I shoot DTM epoxy primer mixed as a sealer so it lays down smoother and wont require sanding, shooting with the color within the recoat window? I wouldn't think you would want to block sand the trunk or engine bay so thats why I was thinking about going directly to sealer.
Also wondering about the match of the paint, as long as I use the same brand and paint shop the color match between the single stage and the base/clear should not be any different right? Or would I be better off just sticking with one or the other? BTW the color is Y-1 Bananna.
