Black Paints

[KylesRoadrunner]

Hey guys, after 9 years of owning my 69 Roadrunner, I'm finally going to paint it this spring. The car is black with black steel wheels as well as black interior and vinyl top. I would like to keep it the same color.

I talked to a painter a few years ago and he said there is one black paint that stands out among the rest. I think he said it was by PPG. He said it is expensive but he said it really catches people's eye and is a deeper black than any other. I'm wondering if anyone here might know which color he was talking about or if you can suggest another paint?

Thanks.

PPG DBC9700 BC/CC.
This may be old info, but if you stick with a black that has Blu or Violet in the mixture,
It will be the Blackest of the mixtures. If it has any brown, it'll be softer.

I used PPG DCC concept single stage acrylic urethane on my boat. It was the “blue” black. I want to say the number was 9300.

I used Tamco jet black single stage on my trail duster. It’s a blue violet mixture. Very black and glossy. It’s been in there 3 years and get driven almost daily and isn’t babied and it’s held up very well.

PPG is the king, very expensive but top shelf for sure prolly 900.00 a gallon.

I wanted some black black, no shades of dark gray, brown blue or anything. My paint guy gave me a quart of black mixing base with nothing else added, and it is BLACK.

This is a textbook case of why "black paint matters".

ALL paint matters.
