All things considered, which is the most expensive basecoat clearcoat or single stage. It won't be to long before I have to decide what I will paint with. My last 2 trucks I painted single stage. Things have changed big time since I painted them.. I am building my own paintbooth which should be much better but I will have to come up with all the paint gear. Dave

The main reason we use the BC-CC is a good painter can do spot paint repair. Not as easy as lacquer but doable. The single stage can only be spotted in no longer than 24 hours after applied where a LIGHT wetting with lacquer retarder will burn in the edges and prevent a halo around the spot. Still NO guarantee. With paint prices sky high it's nice to not have to do an entire panel for just a nick or scratch.
