Hi Millerman,
Yes the term clear over relates to a basecoat (acrylic) topped with a clear laquer. The reason I suggest this with black in particular is to avoid marking the surface finish. With black solid colours in either cellulose or 2K its too easy to ruin a good finish, even by just running your hand over the surface is enough to mark, even polishing cloths will leave small surface imperfections. If you go clear over then the laquer will protect the black beneath, also when polishing the laquer the finish will only be improved as the laquer surface is extreamly hard, and by not touching the actual colour layer the finish remains constant. Another benefit is if you mark the laquer or it suffers surface damage, you can just flat it back and re laquer, no colour blending will be required. I would actually recommend this type of approach to all standard minor colours especially reds. Trouble is it will cost considerably more.
As with most products, buy the best you can afford, we use Spies Hecker base and solid paint. With Diamond Top laquer. On a full respray using these products you should budget at least £750-£1500, on materials alone. You can buy Autopaint products for £100 for the same quantity, but the difference is quite alarming.
Hope this helps, and a Happy New Year! from all at JLH MR:D
