I personally like Honda's Nighthawk Pearl. It's a black paint with blue flakes and it looks awesome. I would add a little bit more blue flakes to it to make it better.

I agree with this statement, minus the more blue flakes.

Are you looking for a really deep black, more of a metallic black, or something that when you look close you see a hint of other colors?

I would say Lexus Obsidian if you want a really deep wet black.

If you want something metallic that changes colors, then go for BMWs Carbon Black or Jerez Black.

Get something with flakes in it! I regret doing mine DUPONT JET BLACK because it was the deepest black I found.

Id recommend something with metallic as well. Its a bit easier to take care of.

Just wanted to point out that it is Night High Hawk Black Pearl and it has pearl in it, not flakes.

Flakes will "pop" more, but when compared side by side with pearl IMO looks cheaper
