So I was looking through my phone last night that has over 5000 pics on it and thought I`d see what the opinions on this are. I have pics of dialed in black cars are almost every make and model and I noticed that me personally from the factory I like the way Audi black looks the best. I don`t know if its because it`s a little darker than others or its just the reflection but I like it. What about you guys?
I did this a couple months ago and these are the pics that sold me.

I like jet black the most but that is unforgiving in the finish. My next car that I get to chose the color it will be a metallic based black. The metallic helps to mask some of the smudges

the tree reflections on the audi are definitely spectacular, and the sun reflections on the fender add that extra flare. very nice.

Living in Texas, black has never been a consideration for me. Too dang hot! Have always tried to avoid it on exterior or (especially) the interior. I do like the way it looks on other people`s cars, though.

Brilliant black Audi paint does look exception when finished, I had one for 3 years and even after a good wash I was always taken by how glossy it was.

My last car after 26k miles

+1 on Audi brilliant schwartz. Looks ace but its a pain to keep clean and swirl free.

Funny thing about that paint on honda`s/acura`s I did a customers pilot that she swore was black and bought it off the show room floor as a black car. After I detailed it I had it park out side in the sun and she insisted that I painted it "Because MY CAR IS BLACK NOT BLUE!!!" She was soooo mad it took me an hour and calls to multiple dealers to calm her down lol.

I like both solid black and ballsett (sp) black (black flake) when it is wrapped over the curves of a 911 Turbo. However the best factory black I have ever seen was on a Rolls Royce Drop-Head Coupe. Almost zero orange peel and no paint paint imperfections.
