Default SS/CC vs BC/CC

I recently got my car painted from MAACO (I know i know...let me have it) with SS/CC and it turned out great.

My question is, was it even worth it? The price difference was 400 to get the BC/CC done so, I got the SS/CC combo instead. I am a student on a budget. It cost me 1K for full paint and no bodywork.

Also, would this still be a single stage or is it dual?

Thanks guys

Yes they did a SS with extra clearcoat.

I know my front lower grill is painted, but I already have that fixed. I also got my stock turn signals on, but just havent taken new pics yet.

Considering the before pics ( I dont have any) they did a great job . My car before had 4 different shades of silver along with a chipped bumper and pitted hood. So I am happy for what I paid for with 4 year full warranty.

What do you guys think?

There was some minor orange peel, but I wetsanded that part and its all gone.

As for overspray, there was a little in the fenderwalls. Other than that none.

The masking couldve been a little better. What can you expect from a 1K paint job.

No I did not do the bodywork. I made sure they did all the proper sanding, filling, etc. I felt like I was there everyday. haha
