Spraying single stage is more "foolproof", since you don't need to worry about getting contaminants trapped in the clearcoat, and you may even need to spray fewer coats.

The "upside" to base/clear is more depth to the finish, and if you sand and buff, you will find it a little easier. You might even save a little on materials, but you will spend more time spraying.

Compared to Centauri, urethanes don't attract as much dust, since they flash quicker, and they don't leave as much overspray stuck to everything else. I'm, "grayheaded", and can still remember having blue and pink hair from Centauri! :-)~
