'68 Firebird RAI 4spd conv.
Starlight Black.
Resto objective: Concours/Factory

Some insist on single stage paint.
Others say basecoat/clearcoat.

I get that S/S is closer to factory finish however, this won't have the protection/durability as BC/CC and will show everything/need regular attention.

My painter has done a lot of black cars that are amazing. He says BC/CC doesn't have to be over the top.

Another suggestion is to go S/S but with clear (PPG Concept, "cocktail").

Scott Tiemann: BC/CC
Level One: S/S
Supercar Workshop: BC/CC

As I understand it, POCI & MCACN don't deduct points for BC/CC provided it's not over done.

Would appreciate the pros & cons.

Thanks!
