I own a 2003 evo , weightless white and I work at a bodyshop. I had to repaint my quarters and we had switched to this new paint " water base" and I found out that the car was a single stage paint" base and clear mixed in" just wondering if all the paint for the 8s are single or if its just for the white ones. Thanks !

 

all evo's are single-stage

 

Sure are. Almost every car is now.

 

I only had three cars with single stage paints recently. My blue by you Evo is NOT single stage

 

Sorry but your are misinformed.. I work at a bodyshop and maybe only a handful of cArs that come in are single stage . Most are base coat clear coat. More luxury cars are a single stage and older ones

 

Yeah and just looking at the apex silver in pictures they don't appear to have that " dullish" look that single stage has. Guess that's just the sacrifice I have to make while having a sexy white car

 

Is their anything to back this? I'm very curious to see all the paint codes and to see what ones are single stage and what ones are base coat clear

 

As far as I remember this discussion. Only the white and red were single stage.
The blue,grey, black are base coat/clear coat.

 

2003 Apex Silver single stage paint here.

 

As far as i know, single stage paint are for solid colors only, paint with metallics or pearls are basecoat-clearcoat finish.

 

That's the info I wanted to hear

 

Are you positive about that? If so then whíte red and silver are single stage? Maybe it's just an 03 thing

 

Your correct in a way, only solid colors .but you can have a white, black ,ect in base/clear too

 

white Red and i thing yellow are all single, i no gg is not single. now sure about blue or black

 

Same here, so is single stage a bad thing?
