Default Black with metallic flake?

I'm looking for a paint that has a lot of metallic flake in it, I'm about to repaint my car and I don't want the stock regular black.
If anyone has pictures of their cars or other peoples please post up pictures pleaseee.

when you start putting alot of metallic flake in black, it starts looking charcoal imo.

I painted my brothers car diamond black from house of kolor. Here are some pics, they really dont do it justice. Its hard to see the flake unless you see it in person.

On this pic you can see the flake in the sun light.

I was thinkin about a flake when I repainted my black ws6. The shop said they painted a camaro with flake and it didn't go with the car. So we ended up going with flames.

Just some info that might help out

metallic flake in black will kinda make it look dirty... if you have ever seen one in person with a lot of metallic flake it looks like it needs washed lol. that brilliant black crystal pearl would look pretty good or the House of Kolor Black is a real dark black.

^ Agreed flake will make it look dirty, but the HOK Black diamond is more like a prizm type flake almost pearl. It really looks bad ***. Kind of looks like the new dodge black pearl.

One of the salesmen where I work has that car and that color. It is very pretty and you dont see the flake till you get right up near the car in the sun. Otherwise it looks black. I always admire his car His car doesnt look dirty with the flecks in it.
