The paint is much more expensive. Durability is fantastic.

If you go 2 stage it will show more flaws in the prep than single stage. So either more fastidious work or more dollars if you hire someone for 2 stage. No point in a mirror finish when it accents all the flaws you left in the surface. Done well, it's an amazing paint. It just won't look 30's era whatsoever.

2 stage is a harder paint, meaning tougher to scratch once fully cured. Good on the scratch resistant side. Bad on the repair side. Takes more skill and time to repair 2 stage, and a halo often results in bright sun at the repair spot.

Just curious, where are you getting this information? By chance, are you a certified applicator (painter)??
