The urethane paints should be sprayed in a booth and you should wear protective clothing and use outside air. The Acrylic Enamels without a hardener should be sprayed in a booth and you need lung protection. If you use a hardener, you will need protective clothing as well. Finding someone that will just spray the final coat could be a problem. Taking responsibility for the final job, when you don't know how it was prepped is a big gamble. I don't know anything about the current water based coatings.

Your right Tom, I'll have to try your suggestion.The new EPA regulations are eliminating many finishes that were on the market.Does any one know if the urethane paints and the acrylic enamels are ok to spray without a paint booth?I hear these new paints can be very toxic, What about the water base paints? I'm used to spraying the old straight enamels and lacquers,did all my model A's I have restored that way years ago.I just turned 72 so I probably should just prepare the car for paint,find a good shop and hope for the best!I just like doing my own work,getting harder to do these days. Thank You! Frank

You may not be able to buy that paint, I believe that it was discontinued. I have no idea what the replacement is. Why don't you purchase a small quantity of the Sherwin Williams black single stage urethane and a small quantity of their Acrylic enamel and them spray a couple of coats on a sheet of metal with dark gray primer. You may find that one of them will suit your purpose. The urethane should be color sanded and then polished. I am not sure if the SW Acrylic enamel can be color sanded, but paint polish can bring out more shine.

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.

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.

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