Thoughts/concerns with single stage paint
Rookie painter here trying to plan a driveway paint job. Leaning towards using a single stage lacquer. The color will be white and have a nice compressor to supply air. Is there a certain type of primer to use that can be painted over without using a sealer? Is there a universal primer that would be best to use while doing surface work? Is there a certain tip/size or spray gun to be used with this paint. Not looking for a show quality paint job but more of a budget build quality job. Is there a different simple/quality paint that is better for the money? Thanks in advance for your advice and comments.

Re: Thoughts/concerns with single stage paint
Listen to me please , you want be happy with a laquer finish if it will be outside or driven.Laquer [if you can even find it] is very easy to spray almost to the point that you can't messit up and if you do just stop and sand out the mistake . Some degree the same is truefor base coat clear coat. The laquer needs a lot of maintinance in as far as buffing rubbing to a shine. Now there are some ready to spray products out there from different suppilers at places like Summit Jeg's and even parts stores but I have not used them but have heard good thing about them. Now for the primer I use high build and recommend it all the time. Look up some of my older post I have spoken of it often as well as the type of paint I use. Good luck happy sanding supper is getting cold

Re: Thoughts/concerns with single stage paint
Personally, I think anytime you spray a white paint job (not matter what type white paint) outdoors is really rolling the dice, no matter how easy it is.
