When your shopping for blacks try to find a blue black and not a brown black.

I agree with Chris. Prep is key on anything before paint, be it drywall work in your house or powder coating parts. prep, prep, prep. Look at the cars Chris builds, dude knows what he is talking about when it comes to paint.

Obviously like everyone else says prep is everything, skim coat filler and lots of blocking.
I use Sherwin Williams paints mostly 3-4 coats base, 3-4 coats clear. Sit for couple weeks before i cut and buff the allow for any shrinking then cut with 1500 and buff using 3m perfect it compound, mothers swirl mark remover and finally polish out with 3m Finesse It Polish.

Heres what it looks like after;



Im 23 years old and have only been painting for about a year consistantly and if I can do this I think anybody can lol

Glasurit has a #1250 deep black that is nice and rich looking.But all the paint companies have alot to chose from.If you have done your body prep and bodywork right there should be no reason to poly-prime twice and block four times.Find the right guy to work on your car and you should be able to poly prime and block twice and be where you need to be . Also don't waste your time sanding with #1000 on your first cut or it still will have some urethane wave when you look down the side of car. I think you can get away with it if you do a flow coat which has been 400/600 and recleared.Just my 2-cents Joe.

Absolutely! For a pristine finish, we always start color sanding with 500-600 grit paper. 1000 will never get it totally flat. Of course, I always make sure to put 5-6 coats of clear on so there is a good margin of clear left after sanding.
