Re: [Amc-list] Paint Q's

Is this a non metallic finish?
If so I would avoid doiong it in one stage AE paint.
For some reason the Burgandy non metallics I have used and seen used over the years fade like a [insert expletive here]. 
   Now newer paints may work, but I'd go for a base/ clear.
The vehicles in question were well cared for too. One was a mid 70's chevy truck that had been stripped to bare metal and within a year it had faded so bad it looked like it was never painted. I can't say what the cause was, but in later years a friend did the same color on a Ford Falcon in Base/clear and it held up fine. Very nice.
   I could be completely wrong, but.
