Metallic Black or Dark Gun metal paints?

I am looking for a paint that is metallic black or a VERY dark grey metallic.

Any suggestions or even better the codes or links to pics ?

I think there is a "Phantom Grey" metallic Honda colour that is quite dark with flakes

Here is better perspective of it:



I was thinking about painting my FC this colour, it's really deep when it's clean, and it's not too bad to keep clean.

I like what you got in mind...How about a black with a gold flick or a silver flick? Or a black pearl?

I have THE perfect paint for you!

BMW Cosmos black metallic. (paint code bmw 303)

I have it on my 5 series. Its beautiful. In the shade it looks pitch black so you get a deep brooding look from it, but in the sun it sparkles with this deep green overtone shining on the black. Its really nice paint.
