Depends on the look you're going for. Matte black without any glossifier/pearlizer looks good, but I got tired of the lack of sheen. The first three pics are of matte black only.

The following two are four coats of black and two dustings of the pearlizer --- it gets silvery fast, so don't overdo it. I would stick with black as a base and maybe a little pearl as well. They also just released copper metallizer. Dark bronze would look great on white. I wouldn't do white on white; contrast is what makes the car POP!
