Difference between Obsidan Black and reg black
Is there a visual difference at all? I heard obsidian black is a more reflected coat and doesn't look as dull after leaving it outside in the rain. Is that true?

My 'regular' black W204 came with obsidan black door handles, it has a subdued metallic flake in it. I think it's a unique color, but still not sure I'd want the whole car painted in it though.

I have an obsidian black metallic c300. I knew I wanted black and personally loved the look of the metallic flakes in it. I compared the black with obsidian black side-by-side and noticed enough of a difference that I had to go with the obsidian. Regardless, either one is going to look unbelievable all cleaned up
