I have a little tip that I use when painting black armour that works very well.
What I do is layer it, starting with pure black, then mixing in some codex grey and working up the layers. How much depends on the models, my chaos warriors I went for 50:50 straight up onto the panels, leaving the black in the recesses. With power armour I use 50:50 for the final layer, then add some more for the extreme highlight.
If I can find my camera I'll post up my Chaplain to show you what I mean. Black armour is always a pain as it either looks completely flat or very dusty.
