Cockbird, on the cast the clear gives a higher gloss. I too have used Omni single stage and have been mostly pleased with the results. However, cast, with all its curved surfaces and nooks and crannies, for me anyway is hard to paint. Almost impossible to do the desired 50% overlap. I have also noticed some fading after about a year (PPG Omni MTK acrylic urethane), which I attribute to double coverage on some areas, that is intentionally or not, painting a area with a double pass before it flashes. I have not noticed this with clear, yet-it may still occur. I simply need to be more careful. On sheet metal, I have a problem with "cooties" in my paint, that I simply cannot eliminate. This necessitates sanding and buffing, and Omni single stage does not buff well for me, the clear does. And with single stage the UV protection "floats" to the surface, meaning sanding an buffing can remove it. With clear I don't have that problem, and as a side benefit, it is almost impossible to buff the clear to the underlying layer, fairly easy to to that with single stage. This is only my opinion. If you are happy with your results, then there is no reason for you to change. I am sort of a perfectionest and hard to please when it comes to paint -- but I have yet to get anyhere near my goal.

He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
