Flat Black Paint
I am seriously considering painting me car a flat black color but i am not sure what the process would be. since it is "flat" black i assume there is no clear coat used. So is there a automotive paint that is flat black and if so how would you protect the finish from scratches and fading etc. Also i have heard where some of the "ratrod" group just use a primer called dp-90, is this and exeptable painting method. What paint did plymouth and dodge use on the blacked out hood of the cude and challenger in the 60's and 70's.

We just finished a all steel highboy American Graffitti car. We tried some stuff the Rat Rod guys recomeded. Some John Deere blitz black, total ****. I ended up scuffing the car and using a tried and true Acrylic Enamel formula I use on restorations on subframes, inner wheelhouses, stuff that needs to be semi gloss black. It is a Acrylic enamel with a hardner, and flating agent. It is much more durable then DP90, looks like paint, and not primer, and is not expensive at all.
Car looks killer now and now all the Rat rod guys that recomended the John Deere crap, want this formula.
PM if you want to do it.
Here are some pics
