Also from what I have heard (and I may be and probably am wrong..you guys are the expert), but I was told metallic paint does involve either 1 more layer of paint or thicker clear coating...thus the reason why it is an extra cost on the lower end mercedes...again someone may just be blowing smoke at me.
Finally, i actually do like the look of obsidian over flat black. It looks more rigid as if the panels are tougher constructed or made of steel than flat black which looks more plasticky in appearance (especially with the way cars are more curvy around the edges). Again just my opinion.
