Body/paint guy wants to paint the jambs, engine compartment, trunk with single stage acrylic urethane instead of base/clear. Says that is more durable and much easier to fix in the event I damage it during reassembly. He said that I won't be able to see/tell any difference.

What your opinions?

Thanks



The acrylic urethane paint like Emeron is a very tough paint and resistant to most chemicals. It usually flows out nice without orange peel.
I think the clear coat may also be an acrylic urethane, but I think they have some orange peel which may require sanding and buffing?
I would ask the painter why he wants to do it that way?
I would just paint it all in base / clear, but maybe your painter has a good reason?
