Default Stock super black or lambo/ferrari black?

If i decide to have the car repainted black does anyone know if there is any difference between the stock super black and say a lambo black? Or is like black is black is black? Just wondering. I don't know if one appears nicer when the light hits it. THnaks.

im gonna guess and say the only difference is if it had a flake in it or pearl but on black there is really no point, i guess if you want it to always look wet i would just have the shop use more coats of clear. but i dunno.

IMO...it's only worth it to paint your whole car if:

[A] Your OEM paint on your entire car is completely jacked.

OR

[B] Changing it to a completely different color. If you can't tell the difference at first glance, I'd say it's not worth it.

Reason why I say this is because repainting your whole car will cost you $$$$ especially if you want it done right (i.e. painting the engine bay, hinges, etc...). More so if you decide on a custom color vs. a factory paint. You can probably get away without painting the engine bay if it's black but otherwise it looks a bit off. If you have money to burn, however, is all up to you.

Slightly OT but the "Black Sapphire Metallic" color on the new BMW's is really... really... really nice. That would be my pick if you are looking for a blackish color to use.

I like the idea of the BMW black but i agree with James that its prolly not worth it now that i think of it.
