My new paint project

Well the boat and the 50' chevy are done, so time to move on!
03' superduty. guy wants the whole thing flat black. engine is out, all the interior is stripped. I took the doors off, took everything out of them, anything silver has to be painted. The bed and cab have to come off so The bottom can have bedliner applied. I have it most of the way torn down and sanded. its quite a job! I removed everything under the hood so It can all be painted. More pics to come as progress progresses.

The frame and suspension has already been sandblasted and powercoated. the cab and bed was removed about a month ago.

Cool, I have been thinking of Flat black'ing my truck. What paint are you using?
I want it to be durable and not chalk up like primer or blitz black. I am going for a retro look. Coker tires with white walls on plain steel wheels painted Ford blue with hubcaps like the 50's.
