Re: Single Stage Paint? Good idea? Bad idea?

I have very little experience with shopping paint options, but I can tell you that my personal experience is that I haven't been particularly pleased with the single stage paint on my car. It was repainted several years ago with what most people today would call "the good stuff" but the paint is much softer than a modern base over clear would be. Every time I have to do any appreciable work under the hood, I end up having to re-polish the fenders because all the fender covers I've tried put micro-scratches into the paint. I also find that the paint chips easily. This could all be the result of aging or poor application way back when, but it still underscores the point -- you want the best job you can afford.
