The paint mix will help a lot. I got single stage color mixed (color match)and told the tech I wanted it dead/dull like GM black then when it was on and hardened I went over it with scotch brite pads to scuff it up and add some wear to the edges and high spots. When I get that finished it will be done with a satin (clear) top coat then rubbed where needed.
If you were going to do black GM black WA8555 is a good place to start
