Does a bear split in the woods near Zheleznogorsk?

I can't tell you what two stage paint means,

Base coat and clear. Single stage is what most people would call lacquer, like what cars got pre 1980s or so. It's not really lacquer paint anymore, but the name lingers. The base coat itself gets polished up to a high gloss.

I'd consider yourself lucky with only that overspray - I had a friend whos interior got blasted pretty good - took him quite a long time to get it off.

This for sure. When I bought my 66 Corvette it was on its third paint job. Originally Sunfire Yellow, then some kind of teal, then a respray back to original. There was yellow overspray on the tires, the mufflers, the soft top where it got through the gaps, a dusting on the inside of the driver's A-pillar trim, the entire underside of the hood was painted (should be black), and all the weather stripping in the entire car was crispy yellow.

I used to wonder if the rear end had been replaced because of the teal paint, but then I noticed the wiring harness just under the hood was also teal. So overspray helped piece together some of the history.
