Yes, I agree with Danny. Be sure you clearly explain what you want. Otherwise, you’ll end up with mile-deep Corvette gloss. Another factor is to do spray-outs on test cards to match color. An important fact is that the color of the primer affects the shade of the color coat. So do spray-outs on gray, dark gray and white test cards. Then pick the one that most closely matches your paint sample and have the painter use that color primer underneath the top coat. Ron From: Dan Plotkin 2 stage is the preference of most shops, but single stage is easier to spot repair. I know this from direct experience. You cannot make a wrong decision here either. Single or two stage and brand of paint system are far less important than prep and technique. Talk to your painter about what he recommends and to manage expectations. Go over with him exactly what he plans to do and how. The results have far more to do with the labor side of this equation than the paint type and brand side. (Incidentally I use Glasurit Urethane, expensive and considered top of the line). However Ron’s paint recommendation will likely yield the same results, it’s the painter and not the paint. Danny Plotkin From: chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ron Waters Base Coat/Clear Coat is my preference. It’s much easier to repair if you get scratches or chips (which you will get). Gloss levels can be controlled by the level of wet sanding and buffing that you do. Clear coat offers better UV protection. I prefer the Dupont (Axalta) paint system. Ron From: chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Behalf Of Jim Birr My 300-F is finally ready for paint! Need to choose single state or two stage paint. Going with original Alaskan White color. I know some of the pro's and con's and think I know which way I'm going to go but am interested in comments thoughts from everyone out there.
