I plan to repaint my 36 coupe original color black myself.I would prefer to use a single stage and not basecoat clearcoat..I notice most of the new cars painted black today have a grayish or brownish tint to them compared to what is still on good areas of my car.I hear adding a blue tint helps.Would it help if my black be computer scanned,is that feasible?Any painters out there who do their own work know what I"m talking about? Thank You Frank

Frank, Black is one of the most difficult "colors" to match. There is nothing wrong with using single stage paint. I would STRONGLY advise you purchase high quality paint and high quality prep materials as well. If the paint seems to cheap, it will most likely not hold up well to sun, etc. Bottom line? If you're repainting the entire car, go to the local automotive paint supply store and choose a black you like. If your eyes detect a gray or brown tint, most likely it is not truly a "black' car you are looking at. Or, I hate to suggest it, perhaps your eyesight is not once it once was. Many, in fact most folks, believe my new Silverado is black when in fact it is distinctly Dark Pewter. Statistically, men, more so than women, have color recognition issues - especially as we age.

Our experience with single stage blacks is that none are as black as the PPG product.

PPG sells more than one single stage paint. Which one did you use?

I haven't located a PPG dealer yet Tom,The black in the picture 3w2 sent looked great, but he didn't give any info on it other than it being PPG. It did look great.

I have used PPG Concept 9300 single stage black on a few cars. I would describe it as a "blue-black". It's a very "pure" black.
