"Candy" black paint job?

Not really a detailing question, but more of a paint question.

I was looking through the website for "House of Kolor" paints, and they have an ultra-black paint called "Jet Set Black". What I thought was interesting was that for extra "jetness", they suggested clearcoating it with a 50-50 mixture of regular clear coat and black paint. In essence, the "Jet Set Black" paint is used for both the base coat and for half of the clear coat, much like a "candy" paint job where you shoot a tinted clearcoat over a metallic base coat.

Has anyone tried anything like this, and does it make a big difference compared to using a regular clear coat over the black?
