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

Also depends on the color and the "look" you are going for. A BC/CC will get the white highlights/reflections out in the sun (see modern new cars), whereas the single stage is going to look like an old truck did when new.

Goes without saying that a BC/CC paint system can have xerilics and/or pearls added to either the base and/or the clear. It's obviously not what KIC was gunning for.

Old trucks with like new paint have a tremendous amount of street appeal for lots of "old truck dudes".

My 65 is single stage PPG concept everybody asked me how many coats of clear have you got on it because of the depth and reflection there is no clear it was color sanded and buffed basecoat clearcoat cars to me have no reflection just orange peel lol even after the clear has been sanded and buffed you still see the texture of the basecoat but if you’re doing “metallic go bc/cc
