The trend these days is base coat/clear coat, I think all new cars are painted this way, probably to comply with EPA guidelines. Most of it is water based. Some states like Ca. won't allow anything else, or so I'm told. Fortunately here in Tx. we can still buy the good stuff. Personally I don't like the base coat/clear coat method. I don't think it holds up as well over time, so I use single stage acrylic, applied with a HVLP turbine type sprayer. Very little overspray, so you use less paint, which save money.
