After 3 professional $$ PPG clears gone bad in 36 months, i went to acrylic enamel on my cars and get 10 yrs service for $55 gallon bright red. Not as shiney but better than the deteriorating alternative.

You can color sand and buff single stage

@user-mp8er1ds9x Ай бұрын

That paint does match the original VW paint for peel. Please do another video of an all over as a true single stage and see if you can get it to lay down better. If you can get it to lay as good as a regular single stage, I'll buy it for all over. Otherwise, it's good for matching factory peel, if it will blend. Will it blend?

@eastwoodco Ай бұрын

There are ways to blend a single stage in a DIY fashion - production or show car stuff you're going to want to use a base/clear for proper blends or paint entire panels. We'll have more on this line coming out soon!

I mix clear with single for last coat.

That's an option, but kind of eliminates the benefit of using single stage.

I’m a newbie with paint but my car is black now can I sand down my old clear and put new clear with Pearl pigments?

@eastwoodco 2 ай бұрын

If you're car is straight and all you want to do is add additional top coats you could sand with 600-800 on a DA/SCUFF and then shoot a pearl coat and re-clear.

@rickyhastings8872 4 ай бұрын

I, confused, why an under coat on a single stage ? Or a base clear, is it a 3 stage pearl or are you just trying to get coverage ? And hate to be a troll but base is easier in my oppinion , more coats buy you can correct the base for runs and dust before the clear and cut the mistakes in the clear after. Not always an option with single metallics

Exactly right.

@eastwoodco 4 ай бұрын

The VW Paint Code is a peal or Tri-Coat, so it requires a base color Blue and then the Pearl coat. But it's the "single stage system" because no clear is needed.

@dennisgray7509 Ай бұрын

How do you call this single stage? Its base coat top coat

@eastwoodco Ай бұрын

It's a little tricky because its a peal color, but this paint job had no clear coat applied so it's "Single Stage" paint.

i dont agree. the best paint for beginners is bccc. with single stage you get 1 shot. whatever mistakes you make you live with. with bccc you split up the job and you have 3 chances to get it right. first you get the base color right. once thats done you get 2 more chances to get the clear right.

@@vhehn A beginner is likely not going to want to spend 2x the cost on primer/sealer, basecoat & clearcoat, hardeners reducers and more. Especially because if they screw up bad, its much easier and more cost effective to redo primer and ready-to spray single stage. If there are any mistakes on basecoat or clearcoat, the likelihood of messing up when trying to repair those is way more likely with a beginner painter. Imagine spraying your basecoat and clear too light, then when sanding out the inevitable orange peel they burn through both. A beginner won't have the knowledge or experience to fix it properly.

@eastwoodco 4 ай бұрын

As we mention in the video the ultimate point is to give YOU options when approaching your next job. Single Stage is less steps, less material to purchase, and can still be buffed afterwards - a first time painter might find this advantageous.

Sorry, that paint job is not good. Set your gun up better for virtually no orange peel. That peel is too heavy.

@mikeafa1 4 ай бұрын

Lot of cut and buff to do!

@eastwoodco 4 ай бұрын

The paint job's orange peel is right on par with the factory peel on the car - as shown at 7:17. You can always buff it up more to knock some of that down.
