DelSolSweetie Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 ALSO I wouldnt get a one stage paint.. it will not match the orignal color friend of mine had a burgandy accord, he had the local paint shop "mix" the "oem" color but in one stage cause it was cheaper... came out sunburst orange vs burgandy I think its mainly the paint shop's fault, then the rest of the fault lies with friend and painter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C92hatchX Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 What should I get it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 base coat and clear coat lol up to you and your painter though (assuming you fully trust your painter.. which you should) your local paint shop will know WAY more then i do on what would be better.. I think it comes down to personal opinion more then anything.. i like super shiny though.. so i say 2 stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
