Thanks for the positive comments. I do love the matte black look, however, eventhough the body is arrow straight and the paint job is professional I still get people asking me "when are you gonna paint it?" ....IT IS PAINTED....
brianrupnow, I dont know anything about JD Blitz Black but if it is not a catalyzed paint I myself would not use it.
If I did it again I would use the Dupont line call Hot Hues. With Hot Hues you have two choices. Base coat/Clear coat using their semigloss clear or their Hot Rod Black single stage. Here is a link to the Hot Rod Black. If it doesent work then just search the web for Hot Hues home page

Locally the Hot Rod Black sells for $50 a quart and only thins something like 3 parts paint 1 part thinner + hardener.
