Went Satin Black
UPDATED PICS, scroll down
ADDED MORE PICS PAGE 2
I started doing some minor body work to the car back in December. The weather got crappy, and I got busy and finally finished her up last weekend. There is still some more body work to do, but I was crunched for time. Sorry for the crappy quality of pics, I am going to wash her tomorrow and hopefully get my hands on a nice camera and take some pics.
Before
Torn Apart
Ready for Primer
In Primer
Painted
8 Hours After Painting
A few days later, HID's installed, still not washed
I used John Deere Blitz Black Paint. It is a very good alternative if you are on a budget. I did not shoot any of the jams, as the car will be re-painted white, completely inside and out in a few years. I think it turned out alright, for doing all the work outside, and painting it outside. There is some orange peel, but I do not want to wet-sand and buff it because I do not want more gloss in the paint. Let me know what you think.

Yes...need better pics....NEED THEM NOW!!!!
I just made the appointment with the painter to have mine done and need to make up my mind on the color soon. I have been considering satin black...even had an old bumper painted a couple weeks ago so I could experiment with it and see how it responded to water spots, scratches, waxes, etc. Still having trouble deciding. I need more pics so....GET OFF YOUR LAZY *** AND GO GET A DECENT CAMERA!!!

Like I said, sorry for the crappy pics. It was taken on my 5 year old blackberry that was given to me when I had to get rid of my Iphone. As for buying a good camera, I would, except I am a poor college student, and all my extra money goes into the car, has since high school I am going to try and get ahold of a friends camera this weekend and take some better shots, I also plan to smoke all the lights on the car. I just realized, this should probably be in the paint and body section.
