Looking at GTRs and a lot of them are "Black" and i had a few questions..
1. Is this a metallic black?
2. Is this the same as obsidian black?
3. What is the difference between this and "magnetite black metallic"
4. Is this the base for the "mango dark grey/black" color?
Black is blackcode 040. I wish obsidian was available on this car when I ordered it. Magnetite black has the metallic in it and I believe there’s some green shimmer in it as well. Scully can probably tell you better Not sure about your other question.

You can get GTR's in either Obsidian (true black) or Magnetite (Grey/Green) Black. I would think Magnetite is the base for the magno as there is a hint of grey in it as well. I actually just picked up a Magnetite GT Roadster and love the color!
I have a Magnatite GTR Pro. Very rarely does it actually look black. More like a super dark green, with the black introduced and coming across as a grey. Its metallic and a very cool color (rare for a GTR, let alone Pro). If you are looking for 'black' this color won't likely scratch the itch, but if you want something unique, it will.
For reference, I had a black GTC Convertible - just plain black, and the GTR for comparison (side by side, its easy to see the stark difference):
Our GTC roadster is also magnetite black. We had several plain black and obsidian black MB's and I like the magnetite the best. For one reason or another, it seems to hide dust better than any other black...

My car is 040 Black and has lots of orange peel. Not sure if that is a Mercedes "thing". I would have preferred a different black or another color entirely.
1) So the 040 Black is NOT obsidian black meaning it's NOT a metallic black?
2) What does this car look like with Stealth PPF?
3) What is the base color for the "graphite magno" color
Looking to buy and want it to look like "graphite magno"

040 Black is Not metallic, correct.
"Graphite" Magno was not a color option on any GT/x according to Ordering Guide options as noted below.
I believe the closest approximation to your desired color would be Xpel Stealth PPF on Magnetite Black.
2nd, and slightly lighter color option would be Stealth PPF on the gloss Selenite Grey (the Selenite Grey Magno can be tough to find).
