Default paint help

getting my car painted soon for really cheap as long as i provide the paint. im looking to paint it jet black. does anyone know if DUPOINT is any good or if theres a better paint provider that is top of the line. does anyone know if they make black paint that doesnt leave those swirl marks after awhile? or does that go away after waxing.

Black is nice, but you will regret it once you get your first scratch or ding!! I love black but would not think about it on a classic due to the ease of showing damage!!!

Except for flat black I would enver get another car that is black. Wahs scratches show like you wouldn't believe. And if your going for a "cheap" paintjob does that include bodywork? Cause waves and imperfections in bodywork show through on black very clearly.

dupont is a good brand and their premium clear is very hard - helps with the scratch bit

if you bodywork has imperfections, the black is gonna show it.
