Jet black has a shiny almost dark blue hue in bright sunlight which I prefer. It also contrasts more with the black plastic parts on the gt3, possibly slightly easier to make it look clean. It's my strong preference

They all look good, just different. But A1 Black is the only real black. JBM is blue black and Basalt is grey black.

My first Porsche was BMB.

Still one of my favorite Blacks.

ok... you have all these differing opinions on which black to choose... just listen to the song “Black is Black” by Los Bravos... then make your final choice...
... (just remember... A1 is +1!)

A1 is miles better. Different caliber. Metallic looks too washed out.

In my opinion; regardless of which black you go with I believe you need to PPF the whole car. I like the Metallic better. I did not have the choice( mine Black) but in the end it all worked out because I love the Stealth look

I'm going naked, as I always do. Battle scars over plastic on the furniture for me.

I am thinking the same as you. How would you ever get that film off if you wanted too?!... and the cost of applying it is crazy!
