Single Stage is where it’s at.

Interesting article, thanks Slavs.

I enjoyed reading that. I’m still using the same suction feed gun I’ve had for 32 years to spray single stage paint.

I'm a fan of single stage paint.  I have brought back some really oxidized stuff that while it might not be perfect, certainly presentable.  Stuff that would have simply necessitated a repaint with clear.  Also, lots of colors like reds and blacks just don't look right under a clear if they were originally a single-stage formula.

Not everything you read on the internet is true.

Now that I've read the article (I was so excited to extol the virtues of single-stage paints), it's basically just a guy giving his opinion but who knows who he is or what facts back up what he has to say.  Best I could figure out he's got 5 years experience working with current materials in a production shop.  I guess that's what Medium is.  Kinda reminds me of this.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of single stage paints in the right circumstances, but when people say you can't scratch single stage paint, they lose me.  Also, he should proofread what he writes before publishing it in such a prestigious...uhhh...medium.

 

I will say that in my experience of trying to get cars painted with single-stage paint, there are very few people who want to do it.  Some of what I noticed is that when it comes to cutting and buffing, pads and other stuff is used from vehicle to vehicle.  I did a sympathetic 2-stage paint correction on one red car and every pad, towel or bit of clay I used on that car is red.  Take all that stuff over to a white car and it's like the red sock accidentally left in with the whites.
