And as far as black paint is concerned, IF it had been repainted it would NOT look as black and deep as it does now. Since the '80s, no one has made a black paint as BLACK as the factories used back then. I've had my old beater, original paint black car next to a fresh $60K black paint job, and that car looks brownish-gray compared to mine.

Agreed!
But there is a reason. The base/clear coat systems in use today are fine for metallics and such, but a black car should be done in a single stage. This liftoff Bee I did last year is painted with Glasurit single stage acrylic urethane. It is absolutely stunning.
