Re: Sign-up - 1959 Chevrolet El Camino - December 15th
I wish I lived in that area. I would love to come watch or lend a hand.
I will be able to add to your love of classic single stage, as a customer of mine is dropping off his 1970 Chevelle to my shop next week, so I can return a favor to him and test out some product.

Single stage, (Like on this El Camino), is real paint. Old single stage paints polish up to a super high gloss with a richness of color that just can't be duplicated by a clear coat finish, especially when it comes to single stage black paint.

Anytime someone on the forum gets a car with single stage paint to buff out, and it's their first time working on a single stage paint, I like to ask them to share what they think of the experience, and it's almost always a very positive experience.
There's just something about old single stage paints that makes them fun to polish whereas clear coats tend to just be work.
I wrote an article to kind of share the difference here,
The practical differences between single stage paints and a clear coat paints
And because most restorations and hotrods are re-painted using modern basecoat/clearcoats its becoming more and more rare for the opportunity to buff out a "cool" car with single stage paint.
I hope we get a strong turn-out...

That thing is sweet!
I agree that single stage when it's right simply looks amazing. Still, why do many rodders continue to use the clearcoat? Probably because clearcoat is harder paint, but that in itself has drawbacks.

Believe it or not, I would suggest that most people when they go to have their project car painted with a custom paint job just go with what their painter recommends and most painters are going to shoot the "system" they're using in their business and that is predominantly basecoat/clearcoat paint systems.
There are lots of benefits to modern clear coat technology and to get a new single stage finish a person would simply have to discuss this with the painter. Most shops shooting anything single stage will still be a hi-tech paint system.
This is a single stage urethane in black...

Those 59's are one of my favorites. Amazing lines.
