I need to respray just the soft top hatch cover.. 717 G Papyrus White.
Can anyone suggest a reasonable source where I can purchase a pint of single stage paint?
UPDATE.. I merely went to my local automotive paint jobber yesterday. They had no problem looking up the mix code for DB-717. The cost of a pint (roughly half-liter) was $35 US. This is for urethane, and requires a catalyst/hardener to activate. No, it's not the fancy German brand, but will accomplish exactly what I need at minimum cost.
Thanks for all the helpful responses.

Tough to find single stage. I am using Nason Ful thane.

I have around 700 liters of single stage Sikkens Autoflex paint in many colors. Bought it in bulk as its sale was being phased out, for my wife who used it to make paintings with. But she moved back to oils and acrylics so now have this stash left over. If someone has any interest or might know someone who might, send me a PM. This paint sold last for around €70 a liter, maybe 15 years ago.

Is Standox a single stage paint?
-
The Standox I used is base coat clear coat. Not sure if they also offer a single stage. My guess would be no given what Shvegel found in his search as Nason and Standox are under the same corporate ownership.

Do you have it in different colors or are these base colors that you blend from?

I believe Exalta (formerly Dupont) make a single stage paint. Talk to your Napa paint guy/gal.

I am using Exalta SpiesHecker...just paid $760 for a gallon of base coat. Still licking my wound with the total cost of all Speichecker add on's that goes with it. Could not get Spieshecker in single stage.
I did buy a pint of Nason single stage @ $27. I want to test and decide if I want to spray inside the car where it is all covered with single stage.
I bought the paint from finish maser....Houston. Colors matched perfectly.

The new water based clear coats won't always cure quickly. Once you place the car outside in the sun for a couple of days it hardens up but it can stay soft for months until you do. I prefer single stage for some applications.

Axalta (FKA Dupont) is actually the parent company for Spies Hecker, Standox, Chromax, Nason with the later being the common brands found in their stores. Spies Hecker and Standox are the expensive specialty Brands that aren't carried in all of their stores due to their $800 per gallon cost.
