    50/50 can be done with single stage with the clear not worth the time as your going to walk around the car till it is covered .then just building up coats that are tinted with color my feeling that your not going to gain any thing just a harder finsh to fix down the road . i would never do it on black paint but we did that 30 years ago on metallcis jobs in enamels and lacquer .i used this 50/50 mix i made up for blending clear for solid color i do not under stand why they call it sugar coat ? what your doing is making it a candy . i done many single stage paint jobs were we would put down 4 coats then wet sand it with 1000or 1200.then wet it up by shooting two coats down . clear can change color up single stange paint just so you know . the way i like to do them is to shoot the car in single stage sand them flat and put clear on them or more color . i done show cars in black were many have asked how many coats of clear .black i do not care to clear less it is a driver or custom graphics were you need to burry a edged
