Its pretty much just black base coat. You dont have to clear it. The clear is what gives it the shine and the added protection. There are some clears out there that keep it flat though if you wanted to add the extra cash.

untrue...... black will still shine without clear coat!

buy the right paint if your gonna do it otherwise it will flake off/burn off from the sun within 6months without the clear and cheap paint!
if your going to do it DO IT RIGHT!

Depends on the paint though, we use Dinamont in our class and it stays flat, even after a year. (A guy with a 92 Hatch back did it)
