Since I'm in the market to get my dad's Z28 repainted black, I'm wondering what type of paint is the car painted with in this picture:



As you can see, it's REALLY shiny. I'm just curious if you need to have them paint your car with some special paint or something.

I'm thinking it got a good wax.

Its a wonder what a Porter Cable can do with the proper compounds. I can't wait to get mine this spring

its black jk. are you trying to get a really high glose? if so use a high glose clear coat and wet sand a buff good. then when the paint fully cures wax the **** out of it and it will be shinner than that

my car shines like that and the sides are original 1995 paint with a good buff job. the hood/front bumper have new paint along with the ground effects/roof/rear bumper but the doors, quarters, fenders, and hatch are stock 1995 paint.

No special paint, just gloss black with a clear coat it looks like. They did however take the time to polish (rotary/porter cable/flex with compounds) and wax the paint though. Does look good.

i don't remember what was used to buff it a few years ago, but i use meguiers swirl x and then go over it with some mothers wax. i usually reapply every 2-3 months when the swirls start to become more prevelant again. thanks for the compliment on the paint, yeah it still shines pretty good for 136k miles
