Re: Paint - Single Stage or Double Stage - clear coat ??

Don't confuse single stage with acrylic enamel which is old technology single stage that faded and patina'd. The single stage I think you are considering is polyurethane and is a very robust coating that resists fade, abrassion and stays shiny for years! It's downside is that it is restricted to solid colors for the most part (but not exclusively). A good painter who knows how to paint can produce a result most wouldn't know wasn't base coat/clear coat!
