paint types

I am about to paint my car. I have painted a few cars with the one stage paint. This time I want to do a bc/cc. I have been looking at books and talking to people. everyone asks what kind of paint i am going to use. I have searched through tgo but have not found exactly what I am looking for. So now I have to post.

what is the difference in the enamels/urathanes/acrylic enamels and so on. I would like to get a nice deep shine. and I would like to be able to not have to wear a bio-hazard suit to spray it. If anyone could explain it for me I would appreciate it.
thanks in advance.

just go with house of kolor is easy to shoot forgiving and no matter what brand you buy you need to wear a respirator or fresh air suppplied hood your choice. as far as a shoot suit its just *** process to keep you and the car dust free.

hok has the best clear i can make it shine like its wet and it stays that way.. price wise it no more expensive than dupont or ppg. and their color line is all custom.... you will not match an original stock color..i always like that anyway nice to be unique. all the shermikin products can be mixed together and create unique affects and that makes it forgiving as no compatibility issues.

i use the urathane enamels and love em. just wear the respirator. you only get one set of lungs.

single stage is a waste of money and hard to work with compared to bc/cc.
