Default single vs tri-stage paint???

i have a black camaro with a few nics and scratches that i want to touch up. considering its going to be a "street car" not a "show car" on a budget, would it matter if i used single stage black paint vs the tri-stage black? i can imagine that i would have to feather the car really good to blend it with the stock paint but does it matter when blending?

thanks,
nick

You won't get the same 'deep' shine with single stage.

well i realized the car is not the tri-stage but a dual-stage (base/clear). a friend of my dad's just repainted a black car with dual-stage. i guess i'll see what i can gather up for if he has anything left over.

nick, i do custom paint for a living, single stage black isnt bad, and some actually like it better then 2 stage because its more black and less cloudy. However it wont last as long as base clear, its up to you, if your on a budget theres no reason not to use black single stage

agreed. i also do custom paint and some people who do a car from scratch only want single stage because it does look darker and deeper.
