Re: Single stage vs. Base & clear
Is this a friend or a shop doing the work also? The paint is only as good as the prep. No matter what paint you use. DuPont, Spies Hector, PPG, OMNI, Shopline, Nason, Sikkens, Sherwin Williams, Wwestern, Standox, ICI, Metal flake, SEM, Martin Senior, Crossfire, SPI, Nexa Autocolor, Valspar.....yeah Im bored and thats all I can think of now, lol.
Single stage is not for everyone to spray also, people thing it's easy but its not like spraying bc/cc which is cake. Also single stage cant hold a flame to BC/CC as far as durability and UV resistance goes.
If a panel is to be sprayed off a vehicle and its a metallic or pearl, it must be hung in a similar way that it would be on the vehicle, otherwise gravity plays with the flake and it will lay differently than if it were sprayed in normal position, and its noticeable.
I was told that with higher end single stages,the pigment actually settles and the resins rise to the top, but in all my years I have never put sand paper to a single stage and NOT had color come off immediately!
