Help!!!!!!!!!!
I am considering a frame off resto of my (1 of 68) 1978 Black S/E. I have many questions but the first is regarding the black paint.WHAT IS THE BLACKEST PAINT IN EXISTENCE? OEM Black for these cars is nothing less than magnificent. I understand OEM was Dupont, waterbased enamel (one stage). Dupont informed me they used a "Lamp Oil" Black!? OK. I understand there exists Black/brown (Ford), Black/yellow, Black/pink and a Black/blue (GM). I currently have a paint job some would die for, but, I am not happy. I recall the OEM paint job had a blue tint and believe the blackest of paints would have a blue tint. Perhaps this is related to a new white shirt owing its brilliance to a tinge of blue. Can anyone correct my findings and offer me what I can do to achieve a Paint Job that is just "dripping black". So you know I have been asking the same question for over ten years. Any suggestions of Clear coating need not respond. Very respectfully, A contributer to the hobby. Brian, Owner Phoenix Graphix |

I didn't have an answer 4 u, but just wanted to say welcome, neighbor! You might want to repost in the "body shop" section - it might get more attention from some of the experienced body guys on this board.
Welcome aboard! "...ridge reamer and ring compressor? Do they have tools like that?"

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
