[Healeys] re BJ8 paint

[Carroll A Phillips]

Michael,

I myself prefer to use single stage if possible, ( non metallic colors)
One , it is easy to spot repair ( with original color from can)
Two,  you arent putting down a lot of material vs using the additional 
clearcoats
Three,  cheaper
four, repeated washings will not haze a single stage like a clearcoat ( this 
can be the extreme, Ive seen cars scratched to hell bcause of too much dirt 
ground into the clearcoat)
What Im trying to say is abused solid colors will not show as much fine 
scratching as the clearcoats, they will all buff out fine  but no need to 
buff so often.
