Black single stage paint.

My steel '33 roadster was painted with Summit Racing 2 part, single stage urethane. I am happy with the results and definitely the price. All done by myself in a "wetted down" garage.
 
There is basically 2 types of black paint bases. Blue black and brown black. Easy to see in the light. Blue black will be the deepest. Spray some and take it outside I would suggest. PPG 9200 base black for me was solid. I'm sure there are others.
 
My Son did this in base coat 2k ,Nason I think

Is there an actual Ford paint code for his 36 coupe? Or color name? I know for the truck of my era it was called "Raven Black".
 
Paint codes on on cars from the eightys on up won't help you, they are not single stage, consider a base coat/clear coat, or mix a single stage with staight black toner
 
This Is 42600070 PPG 2K Black very good paint ,we did this some years ago we use the water down method . I to would like to see Davids ride ,

PPG base black is just a standard black for them. On blasted metal etched. I used a epoxy sealer black, sanded then a few passes with a build primer (tan), then single stage ppg black with a slight flattener to knock off the gloss (not a satin finish, but not high gloss) . Lot of sanding and wet sanding also.


If you are looking to do a reproduction of the factory paint. You will have to go lacquer.


You can mix brands. If you are lucky and have a automotive paint supplier close to you. Go there and tell them what you are doing. Or call and talk to someone and have it shipped. They know what you can mix and match.


It's an expensive process I wouldn't leave up to a forum suggestions and buying paint off the internet only. Plus a paint supplier will give you advice for free.

I use Sherwin Williams 2nd dimension. It’s a nice single stage paint. Have painted tons of black Model A fenders. You can sand and buff it now or ten years from now .

I had a friend who painted cars for a living. He always bitched when someone mentioned painting a car with Sherwin Williams. He said Sherwin Williams was a damned house paint.
