jody, and muscle
its too late to just use semi gloss clear as the black base has already been cleared with regular clear coat.
however once masked off i would apply regular black base coat, then semi gloss clear, and the results will be awesome, plus hold up so much better than single stage which has way of turning white after buffing and being out in sun for awhile.
spies hecker and standox offer the semi gloss clear i know, others i am sure do, but i use standox and i know it works great. i would look into it as you are building this car right.
also just a thought but it may work by just applying semi gloss clear over current clear in stripe area, but i am unsure and would ask paint rep if it would work, i know applying a coat or 2 of reg black base then semi gloss clear you will end up with the results you want

Jake,
my suggestion was the last half of your statement. Once the car had been polished, tape off the stripe, scuff the paint, and apply a semi gloss clear. It should yield the same results as rebasing without the paint build up. I would wait a couple weeks so the gloss clear underneath does not migrate into the semi as it cures and glossen the stripe.

Jody,
I hope to get to see the car on the Power Tour. I plan to be there at this point. If I was doing another Camaro it would be a black on black on black as well. I even thought as going as far as black hard anodizing the all aluminum motor with just accents of bright work all over the car.

Thanks guys, I'm going to pursue that option and see if it will work. Would make it more of a ghost stripe and could be buffed I believe without hurting it like the flat black stripe in black.
