And that will be the difference; shiny. If you want the single stage to be 
shiny you will need to wax it

  I'm a fan of single stage.
  That's just me though.
  I don't think splits look right all shiny.

            I am trying to decide if I should go single stage or clear coat. 
What are the pros and cons?
            Also, Jay, is suggesting that I use an undercoat for the wheel 
wells, splash pans and belly pans.


            My concern is that if anything like a rock hits the Bus with clear 
coat on it, it would be more difficult to touch it up than if it were single 
stage.


            Also the undercoating, even if mixed with paint wouldn't even 
resemble stock. I plan on driving it around the lake and to all the shows but 
not too much more than that.
            And lastly, should I paint the wheel wells and belly pans black? Or 
were they red?
            I am searching The Samba for pics but it's slow going.
            Thanks!
