If you paint my car satin black do you have to put a clear coat over it?

No, you don't have to - satin black will work well on its own. Another way is to paint the car gloss black first, and this will highlight any imperfections in the preperation. When you have repaired and repainted the problem areas (in gloss) , the whole car can be wet sanded with 800 grit and finished in satin clear, of the same type, (and preferably brand as well ) as the black base-coat.

Iam going to do my first paint job on my truck using a 2 stage paint.How long do I have to wait after I shoot the last coat of clear before i can color sand and cut and buff it.?
theres no sanding when u do a 2 stage paint job,and ull have to wait about 2weeks tobuff the car if it was not baked under heat lamps u only bake if enamel modern paint does not require bake next question asked how long to wait after last clear coat before you color PAY ATTENTION the color coat goes on before the clear coat the clear coat is to protect and fill in any bumps in paint such as metal flake paint bottom line if you clear coat first ,you are wasting your money an your time you do not sand between color coat and clear coat sanding will take away the proper effect clear coat is to finish paint properly

You can, it depends what you expect in terms of finish quality. You must also consider that there is not much difference in price when it comes to spraying paint and clear coat then clear coat only you still have to sand paint buff the only difference is maybe one or two hours clear coat needs to be removed to apply new clear coat, clear coat also take a great amount of work after drying to achieve oem finish. The answer is yes however having gone that far might as well refresh it unless you just find the clear does not suit your vehicle but that is unlikely.
