Not a painter but my black supra shows every swirl, egg shell, and crack because of the Mako the last owner used =(.

The big thing with black... get a California Car Duster and a shammy(for bugs or the little grease spots the car duster leaves on occasion when they are new). Otherwise you'll wash it so often you'll scrub the paint right off =b

Once you put your new paint on NO WAXING OR POLISHING FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS! Cannot over push this rule enough, just DON'T DO IT. You can wash, be gentle with your babies new skin. Nice soft hand mit. Washing will also help harden the paint and get it ready for waxing. Good luck! Also if your planning on body kitting your car, do it now, that way everyone gets painted the same time and no one part looks faded or newer =)
