Single stage vs. Base & clear - Page 2

Thanks for all of the advice and input. I decided to go with Base/Clear and am dropping off the parts next week to have them painted. I already got the bumper and its a nice urethane piece. Just needs to be test-fitted to check for any fitment issues before I send it off. Hood will be ordered on Monday. I guess I'll update this thread with pics of how it turns out!

It'll fit fine enough. But be sure to ask for 3 coats.

EVERYTHING should be test fit before sprayed!!

Hes just painting the parts alone? Your not dropping off your car?

I already have a bumper (sooo mangled) and a hood on the car, so I'm just having the new parts done at the shop, and when they are finished, I'll pick them up, bring them home and install them myself.

I haven't got a chance to get the stuff done as I had to reschedule a client due to our freakishly sudden change in weather.

Will update with pics hopefully, lol!

Any updates?

Picking up the stuff tomorrow. Will probably install it next week after I do some engine work and a full detail. I'll likely post a C&B with the entire car as its in ROUGH shape and needs a lot of compounding. 10 years old and has only seen OP with the PC on a white pad, and Poli-Seal topped with 476S back in November. Not to mention the pre-autopian care it received for the first few years of its life.

At this point I'm not too concerned with how it comes out, as I have a bunch of mechanical things to take care of immediately.

Also need to buy a new fender well lining.
