Yeah it was single stage, I think it was urethane enamel.

I didnt think it was that hard, It has a pretty thick consistency so its even pretty hard to get it to drip or run.

I've never tried the base/clear paint but it was like 3 times as much money so I decided to not to bother with it. Just about every vehicle prior to like 1980 used single stage anyways and I figured it should work fine for me.
