Have to agree with Ken here, anyone that still has his 60's hair... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img].. has got to know a thing or two.
I have used some older GM reconditioning black, and I liked it for the most part.
On the few cars I have done over the last 15 years I prefere to use lacquer and flatten it myself, then I can change up the gloss level on differant parts. I love the look of the lacquer, and you could touch it up if needed. I have also had very good results using acrylic enamel W/ flattening added. For some cars I found a black DuPont machine acrylic enemal that was cheap to buy, and since it was going to be adjusted anyway the gloss was not a issue. Either way, I always shot the final black right over green PPG DP 90 (black), it does not take allot to cover that way.
On a side note , IMO, I do not care for single stag paint flattened, I think it is to hard to control the gloss level, especially when it is laid down wet.
The other thing to keep in mind here, like Ken said, there is no one magical answere to the underhood black issue.
All these cars we so cherish are now way over restored, and thats cool. It gives the restorer some artistic license. Paint UM like you like EM.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/
