Is brilliant black just regular black? I wanted DARK DARK black. as black as you can get. thats why i didnt wanna stay oem. I never seen a black fd in real life so I can't vouch if that looks good or not. My fd was left in the sun by previous owner, so the paint is REALL bad

thought it sounded just what you were after. i spent along time hunting down the right black. people laughed at me when i said i wanted a black black, there are literally hundreds to choose from but i still think i chose the right one.
i`ll have a hunt to see if i got any other shots of it i sold this rex on about a year ago. im pretty sure its been stripped for track use now :-(

/\ thats a super old thread, ha! That was my before I even had my 7 during my "obsession" days
to the OP, I agree that a fresh painted BB will be very black. Add a nice wax/polish and it will probably be exactly what your looking for. Will probably help with resale value in the long run I'd assume as well.

Carbon black is definitely not "BLACK BLACK". It's a really dark blue.
If you don't like OEM Brilliant Black, try looking into these. Both are non-metallic pure black.
BMW Jet Black
Honda Berlina Black (S2000 color)

Anyway I actually posted here to help:
IMO you should go checkout brand new cars at dealerships, any cars (toyota, chevy, BMW). There you will find pristine examples of what their factory colors really look like. Once you find that black shade that you actually like, ask the salesman about the paint code (or find out for yourself since it's right on the door jam) tada you're done you've found your color. Next you take that code and tell your body shop you want "the paint out of a 2010, whatever make and model, and the paint code is ----"
Don't understimate the average non luxury brands either. For example my GF has a toyota RAV 4 and it has a real nice deep black to it. I remember this one guy here repainted his FD blue and everyone was like " your **** is nice! is that lambo blue?" "Is it a custom color?" " I love your car, what's the paint code????" It turned out it was "just" a nissan 350Z blue...
good luck
