I assume this would be the appropriate place for this, since we don't have a paint and body section. If not, mods feel free to move!
I recently acquired a really straight, solid 1970 F-100 RCLB 4x2 360/3 speed truck for next to nothing. The truck is extremely rust free, but the paint is about gone on it and there is a lot of surface rust due to it sitting outside for several years. I'm really not looking to spend a lot of time or money on this thing as it is just an early 70's long bed pickup, but I would like to get a little paint on it to protect it from getting any worse. I'm no stranger to a little paint and body work, so I have no doubts that I could block it out, get it straight and spray the paint. My question is, what are real world opinions on a single stage black paint vs a BC/CC paint? Its obviously cheaper/faster to spray the single stage, but how does it turn out afterwards? Is the cut/buff process the same as a BC/CC? Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on this?
