We decided to do that in single stage for a deeper black look. My painter painted badsixpack's black Hemi 70 GTX and it came out rediculous. It is easy to manage as far as buffing, and since it is only going to be a show car, it will not be out in the sun a ton other then a occassional weekend car show. Plus the cost was less. I bought the car as not needing paint, and it was terrible. You could have rolled in on better then it looked. Maaco would have been a better job then the way it was. It now stands tall.
