I have a sun baked red 80, hood and roof mostly. For s***s and giggles I am going to wet sand back the burned edges and clear the whole hood!
I have nothing to loose so why not

Oh gotcha, yea repainted a while back, 90s Mitsubishi pearl whiteI was assuming your TLC had the original paint. The original white 045 was single stage, with no clear coat. If there is clear coat coming off, evidently someone repainted it and added a clear coat for some reason.
Yeah you can spray the whole car with single stage paint but It's not going look that good or shiny because your color is the 2 stage green pearl color ( 6M1). Most of the single stage paint is intended for solid colors. Or you can just 1000 grid wet sand the whole car and spay it with a new coat of clear.any single stage paint advice on my green OEM 1994 FJ80?
got it. Wondering if anyone has ever done a single stage with a dark green that is close as you can get to OEM without doing the 2 stage pearl green? Or maybe a close green single stage on a 40 or 60?Yeah you can spray the whole car with single stage paint but It's not going look that good or shiny because your color is the 2 stage green pearl color ( 6M1).

you can go with the new TRD pro green color ( 6V7).

What's happening, here? OP hijacked my very situation. Seriously, the original post describes my truck (same color, same year), perspective and situation Exactly. It's kind of eerie. I'm watching this thread closely. If the guy mentions his wife and kids, and they have the same names as mine, I'm calling Rod Serling.So my factory paint is suffering classic clear coat failure on the hood, roof and rear pillars. 96 80, Nightshadow Pearl 8K0 (Blue).
Normally I am highly function over form, but after going through many things I am finally looking at maybe painting the thing. It is also my DD.
It wasn't too bad maybe a year ago, but in the California heat it is cooking.
I've thought about getting a complete re-spray (budget isn't that high), painting it white or black, or just tackling the affected areas. Honestly, kinda always wanted a white 80, but I don't know if its worth the effort or easier? I am not getting a different truck. Not keen on bed liner.
Thought i'd hop on mud and get some recommendations. Any thoughts?
Will attach photos.
I did the cheapest Maaco paint job and I believe that's single stage enamel. Looks just like the 6M1 paint code to me. Did it a couple of years ago and it still looks good. There's a thread called "show me your Maaco paint jobs" or something like that where I posted some pictures.got it.
