Default Best Black for a GT3 GT3T?

Guys on the configurator there are two black options. Which one is the better in your opinion?

I'll save you time. Black is the best. Unless you like Jet Black Metallic. Then it's the best.

Go look at them in real life yourself. You'll know which one you prefer straight away. They are very different.

A1 Black is the only black colour Porsche have.
If you want "almost black" then choose Jet or Basalt...

Their metallic looks a touch muddy relative to non-metallic. Most people would never notice, but if you're into the deepest, purest shade, you'll likely appreciate non-metallic.

Flat black is a particularly soft paint and for that reason i would avoid..However when clean and shiny the standard flat black looks awesome..
So to paraphrase . The best and blackest black is the standard flat black however you need to get it prepped and PPFd all over from a top line reputable outfit to keep it looking at its best.
I would go with either 'Paintshield' in Peterborough or in London i would choose Topaz..

+1. You'll spend a lot of time worshipping at that altar. The only black for me.
