Those 3 choices look great but what's wrong with Lexus black? If you want other ideas I agree with D2 about BMW black. Also love Porsche black. Almost any black with several coats will do the trick. It's the skill of the painter more than anything else.

Black is black, unless there are other color metallic & pearl mix in. It all depends on how u want the car to come out. Mercedes-Benz has that black with green pearl that looks awesome

What do you guys think?
thanks alot!

I vote Ferrari Black. Stick with a simple, deep, non metallic black. I'm a big fan of non-metallic, non-peral colors. They can be great when done right, but I don't see that too often. All of those metallic black colors just look more "dirty" to me, even when they are clean. Metallic Black is probably one of my least favorite metallic colors.

My main goal is to get the blackest of the black color on my car. According to the paint shop, bentley black is the blackest of the black.

Thanks alot for making it clear with you personal experiences. If you have seen bentley black, would you agree that it is the darkest black?
