I've had nonmetallic black on both of our Saabs ('95 900s 3dr, now sold; and '01 9-5 sedan).
Shortly after buying our 9-5 new in '01, I noticed how dull the 900's paint was looking. Now the 9-5's paint is looking dull.
I've not been impressed by how the nonmetallic paint has worn, it shows swirl marks easily and generally looks dull. If we get another Saab, it will be in a metallic color in the hopes of getting more lustrous paint which will better withstand the passage of time.
Best of luck in your search-
