As above, I don't really know what the paint code is or what variation of BLACK it is, I need to order some touch up paint for bonnet stone chips
Is my car paint 'black magic' ?

I've used Halfords kit for my black magic car; it's the Skoda Black Magic set.
I found it very difficult to get a good finish. On anything bigger than a tiny wee chip, it looks crap tbh.
I've heard good things about http://chipex.co.uk/ and will be using it soon. I have quite a few chips & minor scratches/scuffs that tis stuff seems to be best at sorting. Expensive but my experience with paint tells me it'll be worth it.

Let me know how you get on with that, i've just bought one of the eGay kits see how it goes.

If you buy cheep paint then you will never have a good finish the only way you can ever get a good even finish is with compresed air 
so for touch ups I'd spend that little extra to get the best finish you can or your gunna have start sanding down the previously messed up spot and blending and that's were it gets hard and if you mess that up hello mr respray me and my mate have bin doing minor spray jobs for bout 18 months and I'm just gettin to grips with blending but have practiced on an old can we have it's about 7 different colour now lol but yea spend the little extra mate

^^ mmm interesting. Dr Colorchip is the same as Chipex afaik. tbh I'm not looking to get it like new; with my son and many nephews & nieces about the car is always in a precarious place anyway lol Just want to hide a few chips and make scuff etc much less noticeable.
If I don't dry gloss you can always lacquer it
Why would I want to laquer you
Seriously it is supposed to be a one hit solution and therefore I would have expected it to dry gloss.
I wondered that as there was a post on the forum from the Chipex people recently.
I asked and the answer was that they arnt.

Frome personal exsperience they never do they always need lacquer
Yep, that was my experience too. Having to laquer unless you are extremely lucky will mean having to wetsand the laquer back and then machine polish. Thats why next time I'm going to try the paint from paints4u which comes with laquer premixed in and is 1/4 the price of the above mentioned kits. I know I'm going to have to wetsand and m/c polish afterwards to get the finish I want so to my mind this is the cheaper of the two options.
All imho of course as others with different colours or less picky than me may be quite happy with the results from the kits.

^^ Chipex DOES list the colour. It's in it's native (Spanish) lingo. So by that rationale Black Magic is Negro Magico
This one:
NEGRO MAGICO(95+)
Your OEM Colour Code is: C9Z
But that say's 'C9Z' is that the same colour?
