Maybe Don will repost the pic of his SPI black SS Camaro Goodguys winner next to the BC/CC Camaro. That gives a pretty good idea of the difference. Nothing wrong with BC/CC black, but a SS Black will always look better.
 
Here you go.

SPI black basecoat/clear coat will give a deeper black compared to the SS. You may not see the difference in the shade or under cloud cover, but in the sun, you'll see the difference.
 
This thread caught my attention.
My '68 el Camino is planned to be black with white stripes. Want the stripes buried under clear, with no edge.
The stripes seem to be driving the whole paint job.
I started thinking "maybe I'll do it in SS, then paint stripes, then clear over it all...."

But, I think I'll stick with the original plan. Base black, intercoat clear on the hood, stripes in base white, then clear it all.

Seems simpler.

I did white single stage stripes over black single stage and then cleared it on the 70 Z28 above. At least that is my recollection. :)
