I'm looking at painting my Z, FINALLY!!!

What I'm looking for, since I'm new to car colors and painting, is what color black to look at for the best overall result. I'm looking for a good deep satin gloss, but don't want any other colors or tints mixed in. I've got about a grand for paint, so I'd like to get a good quality paint. Can you guys make any recommendations, and preferably with an example car painted with it?

Thanks.

 

Have you talked to any black car owners!?... I've got one and think it looks great, but <u>only</u> when it's perfectly clean. But black is the hardest color to keep that way - it shows dirt, water spots, salt spray, etc. very easily, and is a pain in the *** to keep looking great.
I would never get a black car again, because of this cosmetic high maintenance...

 

yep, never get a black car. dirt, scratches, dents show up too easily. i have to wash my car twice a week to keep it looking decent

 

BMW black .. plan jane black but looks awesome or mercedies black .. and yeah it sux i wash my car everyother day .. but i get free car washes so its cool ..

I've owned 4 black cars... and I've already got a nice car cover for the Z after I get it painted. I don't care about keeping it clean, since I live right next to a car wash, it's easy.

I was thinking about Dumont Thunder Black. It's a nice satiny black. I was looking for actual paint names.
