solid colors I'd do single stage for sure, metallics or pearls definatly base and clear, because when you cut and buff it messes up your flake.
I don't think I have one in red, not a good quality but I know I have white and black right off as well as silver maybe...
here's my 85 ss I took to many shows and won trophies, paint limco single stage pure white...
this was painted from the pinstripe down in single stage black, and all the accessories like the visor and scoops as well, The flares and scoops were done with the spray can paint I mentioned and the pinstripe down and visor with spray gun..
here's a good comparison dads 84 the front fender(complete) and beside(complete) was done in SS and the top of the door and cab is bc/cc from the body line down it's SS.
the hood scoops and visor were spray can and the rest of the hood was bc/cc
