Have a 79 mgb just about ready to paint. Has anyone ever used a single stage acrylic urethane. If so how was the result. Thanks
 
You may get some replies here but you might also want to post your question in the MG forum and especially in the "Restoration and Tools" forum.

Welcome to BCF!
 
I have painted with both types. My last full car, I painted with single stage and let it dry. Then sanded it and followed it with a clear coat. Since I am not an expert painter, about one car every two years, this gave me the chance to clean up any drips or items that fall into your paint. Without a paint booth, you don't have control on what the air will bring to your paint. I made a booth out of plastic and that helped but was not perfect. So sanding the color coat (single stage) worked for me. I just recently tried water based two stage paint. I was happy with it because the color coat dries fast.
 
I only use single stage paints. Getting more difficult to come by here in Cali.
i use PPG paints with the clear already mixed in. Is sold under the DCC label. Was called Concept before.
good luck.
