Use any other black besides GM's factory black/brown pukefest. Ford has pretty good factory blacks, so does BMW.

Look here, good info IMO:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...ack-paint.html

I've always heard Dodge had a dark black, a good single stage looks awesome as well if done right.

I was going to say the metallic black on the Dodge srt8 challenger, but that looks much better; might just be because its on a Pontiac not a Dodge. I would say metallic or the flat looking black would stand out the most.

If I was to paint mine black, I'd go with "Ford Raven Black". They put that on the '50 model cars that ford painted black.

alls you have to do is have a paint mixer just mix you a gallon of black tint. instead of paying twice for a company to market it to you when thats all they do.


these pics of my old formula ws6 dont even do justice
