Default GPW...Single Stage?

Hey guys. I did a search, but couldn't find anything. Can someone tell me if the GPW color is single stage paint?

TIA

just remembered that the definition of single stage is non-clearcoated!
all of our cars are clearcoated...

from
http://www.albertadirectory.net/cascade//glossary.htm

"SINGLE STAGE:

A one-step paint procedure of applying color, protection and durability in one application. No clear is used. "

Will do. The car's got mad swirls in it, almost makes it look dull

I'm planning on the following:

1. Clay
2. #82 (DACP, if necessary) --> w/ PC
3. WG Twins --> by hand
4. P21S topper (if time permits)

I tried WG twins for the first time this weekend and got really good results.

Basically if you use a PC and see paint transfer onto your pad, most likely it is single stage.

Good tip. I'll keep this in mind when I work on the car.
