Is there a difference between YR-94M and YR-94M-3 Paint codes?

Yes 2 stage is color and clear coat, Single stage is just color - or otherwise know as 2K color paint

oh well, the worst I have to pay is maybe half of that 32.59 for the quart, since all it took for the bumper was a little less than half. Unless how much more is it to get the 2 stage paint? maybe I should get that so the clearcoat shines better? or do you think it'll still be the same? I think all I need is prob. a pint instead of a quart.

In my experience - Single stage is alot more expensive, than 2 stage.
Which is where things become confusing.
2 stage can be - Lacquer paint and lacquer clear, OR Lacquer paint and 2K clear.
2K clear is better than lacquer clear (although a bit more expensive) as it doesn't lose it's shine as easily and less maintenence is required to keep it looking good.

Single stage paint holds it's color and shine, but is expensive (compared to lacquer)

oh okay so the stuff I had, LIMCO Single stage Acrylic, is good then? yeah the guy did mention he had to give it a final buffing, just like my CF hood that he just did along w/ it, to get the full effect/shine

so I went to return the stuff today, and had to get a different multi-stage paint. One that requires paint, clearcoat, reducer and hardner. Luckily my paint guy has the reducer and hardner and i just needed to buy the clear. This stuff was $110 a quart vs. $32.59 and it looks like it matches better already from the paint splash they put on top of the pint of paint. Luckily again, I only needed a pint of the stuff, so he gave me a break, instead of 55 a pint, the guy at the shop took back my singlestage stuff and charged me $23 for the pint of it. Oh and I guess 19 for the quart of clear

Paint or clear that requires hardner is 2K. Paint/clear that uses reducer/thinners is lacquer
Oem paint is Acrylic lacquer color with 2K clear.
