hey thanks for the pic, it's in good shape! The paint I'm going to use is
ICI Autocolor, I'm putting single stage on first, then I'm going to wet
sand the single stage with 800 grit sand paper, followed by a nice high
solids clear coat. When you apply clear coat over single stage paint, it
flows out nicer and gives you much more depth and shine than a normal base
coat/ clear coat paint job. Basically your car will look wet all of the
time!! I'll let you know when I'm ready to spray!

I guess it would work, I mean, it does kinda make sense.. He's basically using the stage 1 as a base coat since its usually shinier then your normal Basecoat. Then once you add a couple of coats of clear to it, it should almost glow. Kinda like many coats of clear.

Edit: The key will be the sanding to get the clear to stick to the stage 1. Basecoat for a B/C is rougher, which helps the clear to stick better. Aslong as its sanded well I couldnt imagine it being a problem. Worse case, the clear will peal.
