Basically black is deep black, no metallic to it.
Obsidian black is not as dark (for black) and it has metallic shine that shows great under the sun.
I like Obsidian Black better, a little easier to keep and not swirl, just a little

Obsidian black isn't as dark as plain black, it's got some silver-y specks in it that sparkles when clean and under the sun. It's definietely nicer than regular black, but it's up to you to decide if it's worth the extra money.

My 99 C Class is Obsidian Black and a guy in works similar age C Class in standard flat Black and the difference in the 2 cars is unbeleivable.
His car looks old and dull where as mine has the clean look freshly polished sparkle to it.
GET THE OBSIDIAN !!

I'd save the money and get the black opal. If you want the metallic paint then get silver for your car. Otherwise it ends up not looking pure black, which I don't like.

Obsidian is a beautiful colour....my choice was for Black.....if u want the blackest black go with 040...from all the examples I have seen....Black has a better finish....smooth and mirror like...sometimes metallic finishes are slightly orange peel like
Opal is also stunning
IMO 040 is the only NON metallic to go for
