Help me select a black paint color

[smagnotta]

I am taking my MK3 Supra to the body shop next month and am wondering if anyone has suggestions for a black paint color? It does not have to be from Toyota.

I am considering straight black and also black with another color in it such as purple, producing more of a black pearl type paint.

GM has a color called Pearl Black Effect (245L/874)

I want to make a good choice.

Any suggestions or links to websites appreciated.

I was going to do black w/ Blue pearl flakes. I'm in autobody school so I'll be doing this at school. Have you seen flaked paint jobs? They look pretty good.

EDIT

I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for yet.. I need a houseofkolor book. Anyone got one ^^?


Grant's ( oneandgone, jon b ) car was white w/ Blue Flakes, and it looked amazing. I could snap some close up pictures of his hood to get an idea.

If you want it to look really sick do a gloss black for your second stage then in your third stage mix a little blue with some metalic and pearl flake. Take a look a gixxer750's new MKIV when it is cleaned up if he has any pics of it. It looks nice at night and blue in the day. But like I said the only problem is the price. When I had it just to get one fender and front facia repainted and a dent removed from said fender was close to 1200 bucks. I think it was something like 300 a pint for the paint and thats only if its done in a single stage to clear over, It would be crazy to do it in more stages. The guy I bought the car from said it was something like 6000-7000 to get the car painted, and the shop did a crappy job as I could still find spots of the previous color and lines in the painted in grafix.

The 206 on my car is old and scratched and when it's clean it still looks amazing.

It looks like a cinnamon black.
