ANY single stage metallic paint that is sprayed cannot be sanded and buffed without risking paint damage. The metallic particles are disturbed by wet sanding and will blur the finish when you try to cut and buff. I mention this because every paint job that I have seen in the past several years has some orange peel that has to be smoothed out. For this reason, all metallics should be base coat/clear coat. THIS way, you are sanding and buffing the clear coat and not touching or disturbing the paint itself. Solid colors like red, black, white or yellow are perfectly okay to spray in single stage, since they have no metallic particles to disturb. Jeff
Both posts above are dead-on correct.
