#100032, "Black paint choices?"
Nov-11-07 12:16 PM by foggy45



          

my car started doing the classic paint flaking so im getting her re done.
i thought about doing a color change but in the end decided on sticking with my black car.

now i thought black would be an easy choice but now i cant decide on the RIGHT black.
i'm looking for color depth as well, ive always loved the "wet oil slick" look
my father is footing the bill so i could use exotic mixes if need be emoji

sooo what you guys think? (paint to be shot is PPG btw)
1. factory black
2. black metalic
3. black with a pearl clear coat (wont be over done)
-color of pearl?
4. other choices i may haven't thought of?

thanks in advance

I vote just plain black.

My evo, Tarmac Black, has some sort of flake in it and I think the eclipses paint looks wayyyy better

it does.

a little mix of purple, green and silver will give the oil slick look
