Default New paint

Looking for a little help with a base black paint. Looking for a black that is vivid black just looking at it but when you are in the sunlight it has some sparkle to it. I want to try and stay away from turning the black gray with to much pearl. Thanks for the help

just add some silver pearl to the black basecoat adding some clear base and basecoat converter to not cover all the pearl I have mixed this a bunch for people. This is for PPG DBC paint

it will still be black but will sparkle in the sun just dont use to much pearl 7-15 grams per quart (I use the PRLX 2 Pearl) as always to a spray out first
