Default Jet Black Or Metallic Black

I was originally planning to get my car painted silver,but after thinking about it for a while I decided to go with either jet black or metallic black.it takes a hell of a job to keep a black paint job looking new but if taken care of properly u can't be disappointed with the results.anyways I just wanted to here yall opinion on which paint yall prefer and why.

Black is also the hardest color to paint well. It shows every flaw in the sheetmetal, so think twice about that Black paint job.
P.S. I'd go with a metal flake black paint myself.

metallic helps to mask dirt and dust on black paint and works great on cars that are driven daily.PXR is pretty good color .
