Is there even such a thing as cheap single stage paint, something that will last a couple of years?

Almost every paint system has a value line of single stage. I just used some Martin-Senour (same as Sherwin Williams Dimension line) on some parts. Plan on lots of drying time! I used the SS urethane.

What color you looking for? Try Transtar polyurethane paints. They come in a variety of colors. Buff really nice. Don't die back like a really cheap color. Don't fade out. Oh and they are cheap. I've done a few things and cars over the years. Not seen any issues. http://www.tat-co.com/

I used the low priced single stage on my van. Limited colors stock, but they can mix 'em for you too. It's been outside for the past few years, and I've washed it maybe 10-15 times. Held up so far...

Don't do Omni or shopline depending on if it's a planium dealer or not but Omni/shopline will die out in no time. Not worth the coin to use unless you are a used car sales man IMO!

I am having all the big dents taken out on my R/T and just want to get some color back on it till I do a complete resto in 3-4 years, it will ever sit outside other than when I'm driving it.
What about Maaco?

I painted a 240sx in Omni, daily driver, never garaged and sold it 4 years later, paint was in GREAT shape. My current daily driver ( a dodge stealth) has several panels reprinted in Omni, no issues. It's a good value paint, far from the best, far from the cost of the best, but still a very good paint.

Dave talk to the owner of the Maaco at 51st Ave just north of Glendale. I know of several guys that got very nice paint out of him. He must break Maaco rules or something. I'm going to jam my valiant and talk to him myself
