What kinda of black do you want? Do you want any metallic, pearl, or anything in it? Or do you want just straight black? M3 Jet Black is the blackest black you can buy, because it doesn't have any other colors added to it.

Why do you say this? Omni is a good paint. Back up what you say.

better than spray paint i guess. dupont and ppg are 10x better. omni is cheap but if you spray dupont then omni, it feels like the gun is messed up. i dont know. the way i see it, if you are going to do it just do it the right way and spend a few more bucks.

if you want a cheap black, go to a local supplier and have them mix some dupont chromabase with some j805 and just the balancer and binder. If you want a little sparkle have them put a little 1001s pearl in. Black colors are pretty cheap. For example I picked up a qt of NBP for $51 (chromabase) and the SSBP cost me $81 a qt ($124.73 cost) a qt.

Or go cheaper and spray it with black single stage.
