I painted mine with #1250 black, where the Jet Black uses this color and mix it with white (yeap, white) I simply take the white out and its only black. More expensive as is a base color (idk how do you say to that, but its a pure color, pure black with no other components)
Most black cars look grey when they´re next to mine. I love it as it looks wet.
BTW, black painted cars are a pain to mantain as the minor dust is noticeable.

Flat black with clearcoat. It would be shiny, classic, and durable.

I wanted black for my sc but I changed my mind since people say its a hard color to maintain, every little scratch is noticeable ,sucks cause I think its the best color on a sc.

really dark blue with pearl... it will look sort of blue during the day but at night will look black. Jet black is the best.

@1jzchris Thanks!
@JJ823 It is hard to mantain and you should never take it to the car wash, but when you have the proper washing tools it´s not that hard to clean it.
Carnauba make wonders and after some detailing you gonna love your black paint
