My LS6 was painted in single stage over 12 years ago and it looks just about as good now as it did back then. I race it a bit and drive it a lot and it stands up real good with a nice deep shine.

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.
