Paint question

I’m doing a little custom emblem paint job and am experimenting with paint.
I bought GM black from Duplicolor. It’s supposed to be a perfect match for GM. It is very clearly not black but more of a gray.
Are there any spray paints that give a good solid black that would work on the exterior?

If you are simply painting the emblems, any kind of paint could work basically. I personally always use a product called "Trim Black". It is very very dark and kind of a matte color. Perfect to match black plastic on the car.

Very dark black. And matte. Exactly what I’m looking for. I’ll give SEM a shot.
Thanks

SEM trim black did the trick. Infinitely better than Duplicolor.
Thanks for the assist.

You're welcome. I plan on using it on my side skirt as well as the front lip. It is easy to apply and has a good color. Plus it helds up really well.
