I am far from being a professional, so when I shoot single stage, I usually take into account a few factors; the color, my spraying quality (usually the deal maker), quality needed, and how its going to be used.

I personally like the depth in dark colors, but I also like the true color that the lighter colors make without clear.

Would love to see some pics!!!!
