There will be a difference. Unless you get an identical black in the identical paint adjusted for fading and then manage to blend it in. Matte will be a totally different effect. Black is just the name of a color--not all that the eye can distinquish. But some auto paint stores will custom mix some paint for your car in an aerosol can--for a price! I think I paid around $25. Metallic will make all your problems more difficult. In general it is impossible to paint a spot and get it invisible. What is done is to paint an entire section up to an edge. But you can create a 1/2'; raised edge of masking tape--a doubled back wall--which will deflect paint and create a smooth transition into the old paint instead of a raised edge. Get a price on a professional touchup just to see how much it is. It might be worth it.Can i use spray paint of black color to touch up my car which is of midnight black metallic color.?
If you really want your car to look like new, I'd suggest getting it professionlly done. Even if you get the exact matching color of factory ';metallic'; paint for your car, it probably will not look too good during the day if you paint it yourself. At night, it doesn't matter...who can tell...black is black. If you only need to paint a section of your car and not an entire panel, a professional auto paint shops blends the new paint into the old paint so you can barely tell the difference where the car was painted a 2nd time. But they do this in a dust-free room...not in a driveway or a garage. The room has to be dust free because when you paint, dust will settle on the paint and leave unsightly marks. Also, you have to have a steady hand when weilding a spray can...if you overspray too much it will start to drip and then you'll really be able to tell it was an ';at home'; job. Don't forget you have to apply a layer of clearcoat after the paint is dried too (which can take hours).





Sorry...I don't know where Rohini is either so I can't help you with a professional recommendation.
Many of the places that supply paint to the body shop will also sell you the same paint. So you should be able to get the exact color match. Some of the paint suppliers can actually get an aerosol can of the exact paint filled for you. Sorry, I do not know Rohini.
If you go to a autobody parts and paint store you can have them match the color of the car and put it in to a spray can. That way there will be no difference. you main difference in the color will be in the clear finish. The spray can of black will not have a gloss finish and may not be an exact match. depending on where you will be painting will depend on how noticable it will be.
take your car [first] to the paint place and they can match up your car's paint and put it in a spray can.........they place a computer on your car to make the paint..........color match is where i took mine..........mich......................鈥?br>




good luck
OK, first of all I own a 26 year old black Mustang Cobra. I have sprayed it myself before, and for the most part, black is black. However, it is almost impossible to match any color after it has been out in the weather for a few years, because the paint oxidizes and the color becomes lighter than original.





The difference between matt black and black is matt black has a flattener in it that takes the gloss off of it. You can make regular black paint into Matt or flat black by buying a flattener that mixes with the paint.





Also, black is really hard to spray, because you can't really judge the depth of the spray like you can on other colors. If it runs, you can wait until it dries and sand it smooth using a 600 or 1000 grit sand paper and smooth it all out, if you use a catalyzed enamel or laquer. Not many people use laquer any more, so, catalyzed enamel is the best way to go. After you sand it, then you use some polishing compound and shine it back up.





If you have never sprayed a car before, you will have to spend a lot of time and be ready do things over several times to get it right. Your mix has to be right, and your spray has to be right, and everything has to be clean, or you get dust and dirt in it without a paint booth.





It is no small task to spray paint a car, and get it to come out very impressive. Don't count on getting it just right the first time, and be ready to keep trying till you get it right.
There will be a difference.





If you got a good quality, professional paint job your car would be protected from rust, and it will be able to give off that shiny look cars have.

to read about the paint process that is involved in coating a car. Then you will know the difference.








what is rohini?
using black or black matt would show up like bogs balls on a black metallic paint job.


black spray paint has gloss finish/ matt is a dull lack lustre finish.


any automotive paint supplier can match your colour, but applying metallic paint is a specialist job you may find you stuff it up trying to do it yourself.
just get the paint number off drivers door or in trunk where specs are and any car paint shop can match it up in a spray bomb
