For solid colors, the overall depth of single stage is hard to beat. An old school trick to help with gloss and maximize uv protection is to mix your final coat 50/50 with a compatible clear coat. Mix each separately first, then combine them.

Very good info in the comparison especially how he was specific in the colors for which single stage and base coat are best suited. I have made my choice.
I did single stage on my engine bay, then for fun cleared with some pearls thrown in. As a first big area to spray the single stage was super easy to get coverage with. They were both urethane based so no paint reactions. Good stuff dude, can't wait to see the rest of the del sol done!

LoL When I was 15 I decided to paint my 1st "build" because my stepdad (compulsive lier) said hed painted dozens of cars. Before I got halfway through the 1st coat the jug blew off & that blue paint (between Petty & Laguna ) went everywhere. I know my step dad was full of shit when my uncle asked what did you have the regulator set on. The look my stepdad had said WTF is a regulator, i was so 😠.

I am planning on buying a cheap electric spray gun to do it with. Some say a turbine might be better than an airless hand gun. Thanks for your video
Great vid, wondering the longevity of speedokote. Looking for new clear for the shop and came across your videos. Have you had any problems years down the road with fadeing or peeling on clear coats? Definitely gonna try this product.
Two coats of clear over a single stage as a base for the win for me. If they are both urethane based products just let the single stage flash like it’s ready for another coat and then apply the clear. Best of both worlds on a solid colored car.
I'm a beginner ready to try my first paint job I was wondering about single stage versus base coat clear coat the paint store is telling me base coat clear coat would be easier I just can't see that which would be easiest for me to start first paint job
Can’t tell difference on gloss. That single stage lays down flat!!!!!!! I just sprayed single stage a car for MAACO with my vevor and it couldn’t lay down that flat. Can’t believe the gloss! Gotta check out the price on your white and black single stages on the site

Yeah, both have their applications. "Single stage" is for trucks, tractors and structural/inner panels on cars. Because you "get what you get" if you have runs, bugs, dirt in your paint (which you did) you can't fix it. You have to scuff and redo the panel. For a perfect paint job, BC/CC is a thousand times more user friendly. I wouldn't recommend it, but I've had guys do a BC/CC paint job outside. If you get a defect in the color....you can fix/blend it till it's perfect. Same with the clear coat (unless it's severe) As a painter, you also have more control over the match. For an over-all, there's no reason you couldn't use the cheap paint and expensive clearcoat. All the hardness, gloss retention and UV protection comes from the clearcoat.
How many coats of single stage did you put on. And would it be different for spraying thr whole car? I want to paint my nova black and single stages seems to be the best option

I am looking at painting my first car in single stage red mainly to keep cost down but unsure of the disadvantages in doing that. Any insight/guidance would be great. Thanks.
Single stage for solid colors is usually the way to go for being cheap and also more user friendly . Basecoat clear coat it's about 4-6 coats of paint total (alot for a begginer ) while single stage is only 2-3 coats total .

Im confused, so is base coat clear coat like a paint that has both the color base and clear coat in it? Or does single stage have both the base and clear in one can? Or does neither?

If your doing base clear, just order our jet black base one gallon, bright white base one gallon, and one smr42 clear coat kit. I would use medium speed activator for clear coat, and slow speed reducer for base coat

Any advice would be appreciated. Do you think the filter would be enough for keeping the fumes low?
You should simply not do it. Saving 100$ is not worth the headache of all the problems you get with a rustoleum paint job
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 its not my decision, it's the guy from the shops decision, it's his work truck so he just wants it all one color.
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 I tried to convince him to get shopline ss but he's too cheap
@@b323ss2 I wouldn't paint it lol. If he can't even afford to spend 100 on paint leave it looking like crap. Our speedokote single stage is only 99$.
So if I'm doing a black nova with white racing stripes what would you recommend I'm using your products and looking to order right now
If your doing base clear, just order our jet black base one gallon, bright white base one gallon, and one smr42 clear coat kit. I would use medium speed activator for clear coat, and slow speed reducer for base coat
Thank you!
Marc, do you reduce that clear coat??? i have 1/2 gal left an would like to reduce maybe 1 part. or even 2 parts. because i cant get the finish to look like that.
The most I reduce my clears is 2.5% just to make them flow out a hair better
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 Thank you my friend
@@venezia7252 keep in mind if you reduce a clear with slow reducer it will flash off slower. If you reduce a clear with fast reducer it will flash off faster.
Do you have a video on painting Chrome?
Have you found a clear coat that doesn't turn Chrome paints gray?
@@INTIREMOBILETIRESHOP not many videos on painting chrome
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 The Speedokote wheel chrome is pretty reflective until clear coat hits it. Any tips or recommendations?
@@INTIREMOBILETIRESHOP have you tried our aluminum clear coat ?
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 if you mean the direct to aluminum clear coat then yes I have that. I'll try it, thanks.
@@INTIREMOBILETIRESHOP that stuff is better over heavy silvers
Do single stage let it cure sand it with 1000 and put clear over and it’s done.
Very solid way to a show quality paint job .
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 You have a lot of good quality information on your videos and i truly enjoy watching them and also enjoy speedokote products.
Flow coat the clear
Single stage took the win!
do i need to add sealer after sanding my red fox body, fixed some dents and added filler primer in areas. im painting it red again single stage. could i get away from leaving it like that and laying down 3-4 coats?
@@FishingWithJo415 as long as it's all sanded , smooth ,ur good
Throw in a good 3-4 coats of single stage send it down the road.
If your purchasing anything speedokote select me as your rep (Marco)
We have a amazing race red GO BUY IT YOU WILL NOT BE UNHAPPY
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937Thank you for the reply back, 1 more questions. im sanding door jams and the paint is black, should i primer it or it will be fine doing the 3-4 coats as well. im definitely going to look at race red on speedkote and will definitely select you as you rep. You dont understand how much your videos have helped me over the years. i appreciate all the help you’ve done for all the DIY people
Can you do a video using a test panel with the speed kote clear with metal flakes?
I actually already have this in one of my previous videos

Does Speedokote only carry black and white for single stage?
I'm looking for silver single stage.
We don't carry single stage silver yet , can ask the head hanchos if they can work on a formula . If I ask, they will make it
What if I clear ss? 🤔
Thanks.....Very informative 👍🏾
Wat spray gun do u use in this video? Thanks
what pressure do you use for the clearcoat and what tip size,,ive been told 25-30 lbs and a 1.3 tip??
17-25psi 1.3 tip
How does every color you spray not end up on those other vehicles.
All of the other vehicles in the picture were getting paint anyways, so didn't really care
Can i apply a coat of clear over the single stage when wet for more uv protection?
No , have to let it dry , wet sand it then put clear ontop
Can I paint a bumper by only spraying adhesion promoter or do I have to prime it or put on a sealeant
You can use the speedokote trc 500 adhesion promoter and primer sealer in one and move straight to paint. Iv done it a few times.
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 thank you.
Hey Mark, love the single stage. Where did you get the large filter for your fan?
It's just booth filter roll can get it on Amazon
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 - thanks Mark
Can u use singlestage in cold ..40's .like that superfast clear
Yes just do lighter coats
Did you use a reducer in the single stage?
Sometimes I add a splash of reducer to help it flash better , or if it's super hot I'll add a splash of slow reducer to help it flash slower
Do you ever mix clear with the single stage?
Not usually
Did you add a high gloss hardener with the single stage?
I use the Hardener it comes with
Thanks man
