I am going to use a single stage urethane on my wagon. It can be sanded and polished just like BC/CC and the upside is even better. If you get a chip or nick it can be easily fixed. It's also alot cheaper..................just adding my .02

An answer like that doesn't help the OP or me who is not a expert!! Thought the forum was for information and help? (Yeah I'm having a bad day!!) Pete

Attempting to ascertain the knowledge of an end user so we can assist him further is quite helpful.

Ask a detailed question, you get a detailed answer. In this case, the OP states he will not be painting metallics, which allows us to point him in a general direction.

Again, in his case, he has both a Finish-Master located in (Old Reading Pike, but access sucks since they closed the bridge) Stowe, or a J&S on High Street in Pottstown proper (across from the rental place). Neither offers the greatest pricing, or guidance in my opinion, but beggars can't be choosers in his case. Those two are much better than buying paints from Eastwood on Shoemaker, who know nothing about paint or painting techniques, other than they sell it.
