I have a theory on the black. While it may have been flattened, I tend not to think so. I think on an X66 that maybe the tailpan, and rockers were painted at the same time.
Remember that we're working with laquer. If you buff the primary color to a high gloss,(and you had to buff laquer to get it to shine) but you just sprayed the black on, and left it, no buff. It would have a dull sheen to it with out being flattened.
Over time as you waxed, and rubbed on it, it would actually get a higher luster.
I don't think you can really duplicate this with bc/cc. I think you'd need to use laquer.
Just my humble opinion, as someone who shot laquer back in the day, and have seen this effect.

Very cool car.

That would give the effect I recall. Good theory.
