Understand that there is a difference between single stage ENAMEL and
single stage URETHANE.  If I remember correctly, enamel does not use a
hardener while urethane does.  SINGLE STAGE  is not the same thing as
SINGLE PART.  A SINGLE STAGE urathane comes in two parts, the paint
(actually the pigment and the clear coat mixed together) and the
hardener that you mix together at the time of painting.  TWO STAGE means
you lay a base coat (the pigment) down first and then at the appropriate
time you lay down the clear coat as separate STAGES.
