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
bump for a nice question. i wanna repaint my car too!
i was thinking about the same thing .. like a m3 black... iam not feeling the nighthawk too much anymore.... but i was thinking of doin a milano red !!!
some kind of white.... i hated white cars with a passion until i saw an ep sporting it... i have nhbp and i feel bad because sometimes i am jealous of the taffy ones
Mercedes Benz black is the nicest black I've seen.
yeah something like a benz black or go with milano red
some good points so far. Milano Red .. meh .. passed on that color when i got my car, so don't feel I should paint it that color now.
Flat black is nice and does look good, but not for me. I do want something reflective though. A nice deep black with a good layer of clear on top.
I'm really leaning towards M3 black, but the Mercedes black is very nice as well. The nighthawk was nice, but I've grown out of it now.
Whatever I choose, I will be sure to post pics of the new spray !
edit: Audi's Phantom Black is also very nice.

whoa ... never even thought of that. any websites that you would know off the top of your head? And what are the paint brands I should be looking out for? I would assume PPG and Duplicolor(not sure of this one) would be the major players? Don't know too much about paint brands, any brands i'm missing?

dupont is a big name, duplicolor is cheap...
one of the best would be house of kolor...its expensive but its the best...http://www.houseofkolor.com/hok/index.jsp
sherwin williams has a pretty decent top of the line paint, but they also have a cheaper line of paint, that is pretty good but its just not AS good as their good line...
