RE: black paint
If what you're showing is a sample, it looks great! While it is not strictly accurate, I'd clear it if you intend to drive the car.Super deep color and much easier to buff out the usual wear and tear as well as protecting the color from oxidation and fading.
More important than the brand of paint or the shade of black is the prep and application. The primary difference between a $500 paint job and a $5000 one is the effort and care put into the application and polishing. Which do you want?
As far as color goes, if you are not sure, get a pint and spray out a fender. Look at it in the sun, under clouds, in your garage and in the dark. If it looks great under all lighting, its right. Much cheaper than buying a whole car's worth of the wrong color.
