ehh.. i wouldn't waste your time with single stage. take it to maaco if you want a single stage job. if you are doing it yourself spend a few bucks extra and get base/clear.

yes you can use an HVLP gun, but I just don't bother spray single stage paint unless if I'm painting a boat

werd. lol.

spray it with HVLP if you decide to go with single stage.

i'm wondering though, are you settling for single stage because it's free where you work or something? you know you could always buy paint on your own and just bring it in and spray it.. and it's not like single stage is any easier than spraying bc/cc. just a heads up, that's all.

You can spray with an HVLP, and yes it will not use as much paint versus using an conventional....but, you'll have better results with a conventional; don't forget this stuff is just like spraying clear.
