no its just the apposite ! only a repaint the was doen improperly will not last . on a matallic color single stage there is very little UV protection also when you color sand and buff you end up sanding off some of the metallic flacks . most OE and good repair shops use base clear for there finishes for good reasons . a big plus for the home sprayer using base clear is the fact that you can denib any dust that gets into the color coats when painting . then when your finished clearing and once dryed you then can wet sand and buff with out fear of the color changing or in your case removing some of the metallics too. with out maintenance no finish will last as it should . the only plus to a single stage color is you can at times bring a badly fadded color back to life with a good buffing . were with a base clear color once the clear goes bad its repaint time . but on the other hand when any top coats go bad its time to repaint ! the simple fact that the top coats are the only protection for the under coats and metal substraight . in most cases your looking at about 4 to 6 mills of protection . under coats offer little to no protection at all and are not designed to . so with a car that the color is badly faded and you bring it back to life by a good buffing you have also removed more of the only protection the substraight has . if you have ever buffed out a badly faded car i'm sure you noticed it fades back out fast .
