cellulose is the old paint style. sprayed on and then wet n dried off and then compounded. took months to fully harden.

This is what I spray, first primer, then base then lacquer. Is a solvent paint. You need good ventilation. It is not as strong as 2k. Also it is being phased out.

This is being phased out. Is used by 90% of body shops and as far as I'm aware is available in metallic pearlescent
You put on a primer that is usuallly mixed 1part hardener to 3parts primer.
Then base coat also mixed with a hardener.
Then lacquer again mixed with a hardener.
This paint is toxic and you need an air fed mask.
Waterbase paint. This is what i'm now changing to. It goes on easy but needs a warm draught to dry it.
again has a primer, base then lacquer.
It is laughable, it needs a solvent primer and a solvent lacquer
so only one stage is environmentaly friendly.
