I'm not a paint pro so I'm just asking because I'm curious. Is it just certain brands of single stage metallics that can't be buffed? I've worked at a couple body shops and the first one the owner painted single stage sikkens metallics all the time and buffed them and they always looked great. He had many cars and trucks that won best paint awards all over. I worked at a heavy truck frame shop at my last job and the paint shop sprayed many semis with metallic emron and buffed each one from top to bottom. Were these guys getting away with buffing them and not hurting the finish by spraying more coats of color so the buffing wouldn't burn through as easy?
