Depends some on the color. Darker you go the better the body needs to be.

Light oranges are pretty easy and hide a lot of flaws.

Dark or burnt oranges are a cock sucker. About as bad as navy blue and black...

Enamel paints are the shit. I love them and when done correct look just as good as BC/CC. 90% of my personal cars / trucks that i've painted have been enamel paints.

when it comes to body work and paint. it doesn't matter if it's bc/cc or single stage. any flaw under the paint will show through it. Take time on the pre paint work and it will look good. Painting itself is not hard at all imo.

When I used to run Enamel paints I had really good luck with a few thin coats and then come back with a couple heavier coats. Really gave the paint some depth and came out nice.

wrap it

Vouch, I know a guy too!

As far as durability is concerned, they both fair about the same. They are both urethane.


Single stage is easier to spray, simply by the fact that it's a one spray application.


Single stage is, however, more difficult to touch up and match down the line.

Orange is a fun color to spray, stick the the lighter side of the spectrum if you are feeling self conscious about the body work.

Stick to single stage if you are new to spraying.

I prefer base/clear, but I work and spray often, so my confidence level is higher than most.
