satin or glossy black????

Thats why you go single stage urethane! You can blend it, rub it out, whatever if you do sustain damage. I have sprayed Nason (budget Dupont), PPG and PPG's Urotech, an industrial version. All were easy for a garage painter and hold up really well.

Shiny is where its at.

Additional thoughts: if you decide glossy, I would definitely suggest the following:

1. NOT base coat-clear coat. Single stage.
2. NOT perfect-lacquer-with-60-coats-lovingly-wet-sanded.

IOW, something that looks like an original black paint job that was well cared for and then rubbed out. Slight patina, ever-so-slightly satiny. This is REALLY hard to describe in words but hopefully you understand what I am suggesting.

The end result would look good, be repairable, and also not make the car look bad as minor stone chips and the like appear over time.

 

go against the grain and do what you want..you know you want Satin

glossy is over rated

 

looks good in satin!

 

The car will look great either way... But my vote goes to "Glossy".

 

Do what will let you enjoy it most.
