Thats how I painted my Harley- 2 coats PPG Concept, 1 coat 50/50 clear and color, then 1 final coat of clear...Turned out great and no way the clear can ever seperate from the color, which is what I hate about 2-stage paints...In about another year or two I'm going to repaint the Mopar the same way
I believe the guy painting my truck stated PPG Concept. He quoted a price and than stated later for a little extra he could clear coat the paint. If it is worth it I don't mind paying extra for it. I will get more details prior to making a commitment on the paint job.

I guess it comes from experience, I have a beautiful black '71 RS Camaro that I did base/clear when I was doing bodywork full time. 3 wet coats of clear, over BMW black base, wet sanded with 2000 grit, polished, bla bla bla......... and I am always paranoid to drive it. In 20 years it has only gathered 2 chips, and they might has well have been caused by a baseball bat, because the aggrivation just was not worth it. So I am a lot less fussy these days, with the multitudes of mirror finish cars at shows these days, who cares? My theme now is to make them look new, not perfect. Just my

I agree with you a 100% - been there and done that with my 64 Stude and 68 Dart. My Blood Pressure shoots up every time I take them out for a ride. I'll probably just have the body shop shoot it without the clear coat, Unless they give me a deal I can't refuse!!
