Default Want some suggestions on black paintjob

Im getting my car painted with a shine kit and would like some suggestions on a black. I want a black with some sort of metallic flake to keep it shiny. Ive thought about going jet black but i figured its going to be hard to keep up with the paint. Getting some flakes in the paint would be better to maintain. So i would like you guys to help suggest some black paint for me.

Nighthawk Pearl from Honda/Acura is awesome! It's black with blue flakes and it looks great!

Awesome color suggestions you guys. I never thought it would be this hard. The java black looks nice. Lexus mica looks nice as well, but id like something on the darker side.

i had my car paintd black recently.

i prefer straight black with no pearl/flakes/additives, etc.

to me its a much cleaner classic looking black. uncommon with most new cars.

Good idea on that one that just know with pearls and metalic paints you will have to blend panels if you want to change up your kit. The paint is also pricey don't go cheap with this stuff or you will regret it. Post pictures when you get a chance and go with the bmw one I like that one seen it in person looks great.
