It's been mentioned before above, but there are two black tones when painting a car. Brown black and a blue black. The blue black is deeper. Next time we have shows and your walking around, step back on a black car and let the sun reflect off the car. It's easier to see the difference and there is a difference.

On my truck i did single stage ppg 9300 black (it's just standard black for ppg). It's been 6 yrs so the numbers could have changed. It's a blue black and consistent in sunlight. Added a little flattener so it was only a little bit glossy.

About 900$ a gallon for color back then. But if I'm going through all the trouble of metal, prep, and sanding. Why would I cut a corner on the final presentable stage.
