I guess all painters are different then, my cousin swares by single stage. Maybe he is just lazy. He did my trunk lid in single stage though and turned out good.

That color is gorgeous. Sad to hear you are going to sell it though. Any ideas what you might be looking at for a replacement?

Single stage is ok its just a fading product, ive only used it once. I wouldnt recommend wetsand and buffing it though if it has metallic in it.

Yeah, havent had any problems yet though. I plan to swap out to a cf trunk soon though, but dont have any complaints about it. We will see if a couple years though if i still have it.

i liked the original candy orange. But for a daily driver, this is really nice and functional for scratch repairs.

im not pinstriping it, but ima paint the door between the 1/4 glass and the driver window like it is factory. I dont like pinstripes myself I think it looks nice and clean now. I think with the window tint and wheels and black roof theres plenty to break it up. But I know we all feel differently
