Single stage. Awesome. Thanks for the video.

Is there any disadvantage to using an electric random orbital sander? I have several, and instead of buying another tool I won't use much, I'd like to use what I have if it'll work.

After 3 professional $$ PPG clears gone bad in 36 months, i went to acrylic enamel on my cars and get 10 yrs service for $55 gallon bright red.
Not as shiney but better than the deteriorating alternative.

I’m a newbie with paint but my car is black now can I sand down my old clear and put new clear with Pearl pigments?

[garyhoward]

As a low experience hobby painter, I find dual stage much easier as the spraying runs much less and you can correct mistakes along the process.

Like the gun, where can I get the light for the gun

[rickyhastings]

I, confused, why an under coat on a single stage ? Or a base clear, is it a 3 stage pearl or are you just trying to get coverage ? And hate to be a troll but base is easier in my oppinion, more coats buy you can correct the base for runs and dust before the clear and cut the mistakes in the clear after. Not always an option with single metallics

That paint does match the original VW paint for peel.
Please do another video of an all over as a true single stage and see if you can get it to lay down better.
If you can get it to lay as good as a regular single stage, I'll buy it for all over. Otherwise, it's good for matching factory peel, if it will blend. Will it blend?

I mix clear with single for last coat.

[FatFreddieT]

so if you have abase color then a top color, hows that a single stage ? more like a duel stage

[dennisgray]

How do you call this single stage? Its base coat top coat

[jeremypeterson]

How hard does single stage get and how durable is it? What kind of lifespan ate we talking about before fading?

[RobertWill-uqiv]

Except it's not priced for beginners.

[GabrielZuniga-zn]

I thought the whole single stage deal was that it was suppose to just pour and paint no mixing

[scottmoto]

Sorry, that paint job is not good. Set your gun up better for virtually no orange peel. That peel is too heavy.

i dont agree. the best paint for beginners is bccc. with single stage you get 1 shot. whatever mistakes you make you live with. with bccc you split up the job and you have 3 chances to get it right. first you get the base color right. once thats done you get 2 more chances to get the clear right.

[jcookcamaro]

price is way too high. don't know what you are basing your price from? you can get it local for about half the price and it's a name brand paint like ppg. sorry guys

Why does the camera operator think this is a good time to do a showcase of his "talents" for a Hollywood career?

[sandysquitieri]

It's not really single stage if you have to put on a precoat first

[marcocruz]

Broo horrible orange peel too much pressure in your gun
