Default What color should I paint my car? Shades of black

I've got a black 92 shell. I'm trying to decide if i should get it painted the oem black or a different shade of black.
Second question, where's the best place to buy paint and how much do I need. The guy painting it want's me to buy the paint.

I would go with Lexus 202 Black...If you have access to PPG, Dupont, or HOK. as far as how much paint your will need, you should ask your painter? It will all depend on what color choice you decide, and the experience of your painter. Is he requiring you to buy the clear, etc?

PPG paint all the way... Some of the higher stuff the better for better spray, longetivity, and looks... Lets see the car!!!

If you're going for a budget build just find a black that is good quality but cheap. Buying Lexus paint might be more expensive? (Not sure) Btw, can I recommend you shave that antenna hole and do some sleek roof mount antenna or something while you're at it? Heh Hope you get to build it up in 2013!
