RE: IML: Painting Clear Base?

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've just finished putting my 67 back together (I'm still working on the
write-up for the IML page on the project) but since this question of black
paint and how it looks has come up, you might want to take a look at my car.
It is painted with single stage paint, no clear coat.   The paint we used is
DAL-9000, A Ditzler "double-deep black".  We used a hardener, and very slow
thinner, but no other tricks.

In my opinion, this is the purest deep black look one can achieve.  I took
it to the SCIOC meeting last week; the other members seemed to agree.

Here is a link to the pictures of my car:

I am painting black. Does basecoat clear look right for a 50's-60's factory
job. Or will single stage give a deeper gloss that looks closer to factory
look?
