    What is the blackest black paint?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm doing a OEM RS4 widebody conversion on my brilliant black B5 S4 and want to paint the car a deeper blacker black during the process. My question is, what is the blackest black on the
    market? Also, I've been reading a bit about a painting process called single stage, which is supposed to make the car look blacker. Does anyone have any experience with single stage
    painting? Are single stage paint jobs tough to maintain?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    This might help. Its not about paint but might help you find the black you need. http://news.rpi.edu/update.do?artcenterkey=2393

    Single stage paint is very easy to polish / maintain (Black /Red / White are very often SS paint)

    Single stage paint is often referred to as acrylic enamel paint and in my opinion does not shine like a two-stage paint. Paint correction however is much easier w/ single stage.

    Very true^ I'd say bentley black is real dark as well.

    If you really want it to shine I wouldn't go with single stage.
