You dont call a single stage paint a base coat. Both clear and base coats are integrated in a single stage paint. With a 2 stage base and clear the base coat is generally a fast drying low sheen coat that is sprayed over with a clear to get the gloss.

You can get really nice results with a single stage depending on the equipment used and how much sanding you want to do. On my car I sprayed about 5 cross coats of paint and did alot of wet sanding and polishing to get a glass like finish. Keep in mind you want to buy a decent quality paint to get these kind of results. You get what you pay for when it comes to paint.

I dont have access to my photobucket right now but I will post some pics later.
