SINGLE STAGE PAINTS WERE GREAT IN THE 60'S WHEN YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CHEMICAL FALLOUT ACID RAIN AND ALL THE OTHER CRAP THATS FALLING ON OUR CARS NOW.
I'VE BEEN PAINTING CARS FOR OVER 30 YEARS I EVEN REMEMBER HAND RUBBED LACQUER , NOW DAYS THE ONLY WAY TO GO IS BASE CLEAR, I'VE BEEN USING PPG IN MY SHOP FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND HAVE USED ALL OF THEIR SYSTEMS.
THE REASON THE "CLASSIC 60'S LOOK" WAS THAT WAY IS BECAUSE THE OLD PAINTS COULDN'T HOLD A SHINE WHEN PUT OUT IN THE ELEMENTS, AS FAR AS BLACK LOOKING LIKE "PATENT
LEATHER" SUPER!! THE MORE GLOSS ON BLACK THE BETTER IMHO
