single stage vs base coat clear

if its acrylic urethane ss ...clear is not a problem ...its already in the mix ....its basically color and clear all in one all ready .... just let it flash off and put a couple to three coats of clear on ....more uv protection , can be cut and buffed my times to keep that new paint look years down the road ....... if you go solid color s.s. you can do the same thing ..if you do put a couple more coats on so you can cut and buff it also ...done both ...just make sure you put enough paint or clear on ...if it does not come out right ...dust ,runs ,orange peal up the *** you can just cut and buff and it will look like a show car ...been there done that too ...lol....the key is have enough paint on the car not to blow thu cutting and buffing ...put two to three extra coats if you see its not coming out right on the first couple costs so you can fix it ...but make sure your WAIT for the flash in between coats and cure time after before cut and buff... here's a pic ...white and red acrylic single stage ...met. blue base coat ...four coats of clear cut and buffed ...800 in some spots a couple runs ,some dirt from no booth done in my garage ,a little orange peel... then 1000.. 1500...then buffed ...put four coats of the white and red first ..then sanded with 600 to make it flat with no peel or trash ...taped off shot the blue base then the whole car with clear...
