Won't want to use a single stage on metallic unless you don't want to touch it (cut/buff) after it's sprayed. I'm not even sure if you can still get it?

Tom
Ditto what Dave said, I would only consider a single stage for solid colors, no metalics. You would be very limited on the amount of sanding you could do.

Thanks guys. Well, it'll be white with a black painted top, no metallics, so I think I can go either way. For some reason I'm really torn on this.
