If your 2 stage paint peels after 6 to 9months you need a new painter. My 04 Suzuki xl7 was in an accident 5 years ago. Had to put a new hood and fenders . I did all the work from prep to paint . Car is outside and is a winter driver. Paint shines like the day I painted it. 2 stage should not cost more than single stage. Base coat is sprayed to cover then clear. Clear is much cheaper than color . Single stage Eurothane with catalyst and reducer adds up quickly specially if your doing a red .


But back on post . I don't like when someone tries to recreate patina on a car/truck. It very rarely comes out correct. My truck has a few dents a little rust here and there but it's from years of use. I call it character not patina. Patina is on a piece of antique furniture.
