I've always been a fan of Porsche Seal Gray metallic (paint code L6B5).
It's a dark almost charcole/graphite gray that I have been thinking about using if I ever decide to change colors on my Lanos.

I like the bumper, but I warn against painting your whole car flat black. Scratches will look worse and be harder to buff out. Any bird crap or road tar will immediately damage the paint if there isn't a clear coat, in direct sunlight, the car will be hot as Hades, and on the highway, the drag and friction coefficient will be higher on the matte paint, so you will notice that your car moves slower and uses more gas.

Go with a nice dark gunmetal, or maybe an electric blue. Leave the flat black to the pick-up trucks.
i had a pos gmc jimmy that i rattlecanned flat black, i loved it its different but it dont stand out, but i dont know, it would just be more work later when i go to paint it a regular color

I have to say that I agree that flat black wouldn't look as good as doing a gloss or clear coat covered color. It probably looked alright on your jimmy... but your woo? :( Your woo wants shiny!

if i went flat black it would only be temporary, just until i finish my body work and get the cash to paint it gloss black, instead of having the woo of different colors, its like a mobile rainbow...um no thank you!
