    Color Advice

    Back in 2004, I walk back to my car after a nice night of dining out only to find deep key marks on my Drivers side door and rear quarter panel. I damn near fainted. and then my friend says " Uhhh maybe you should come look at this side too Mike" ... yeah key marks on both doors and both rear quarters. What a crappy situation.

    So after many years of not really caring about the exterior of my car, my tax return is gonna fix all that. I'm gonna be painting it soon, but I need some advice from you guys.

    I'll be going black again, but not Nighthawk. I'm looking for a deep black. I was thinking about M3 black. The RS4 Phantom black is also very deep. Anyone know any other deep blacks ? I also thought about changing colors... but going black again is the cheapest option.

    Any advice is greatly appreciated !

    This dude is obviously looking for something highly reflective/glossy, not flat black.

    I'm with you OP, nothing looks better than nice deep black paint. But I don't have any recommendations for you

    easy tiger... i dont see where its obvious that he wants something highly reflective... his only inquiry was about a deep black.

    IMO - flat black is hellah sexy... but not practical for me.

    yea flat black would be sick, but IF anyone were to do this to their ep, it would take years to sell :p. I say m3 black, would look sick.
