Quick paint question

My car's going to be getting s bunch of body work done over the summer, so a quick question about paint:

It's an Ebony Pearl. Sometimes, if I look closely, I can see a sparkly red layer in the black. It's most noticeable when the cars wet, and I look at the reflection of a light source.

Is this what the stock colour does, or has my car been repainted? I have very litte info on paint history for this car. It has always been black, CarFax has the "Vehicle colour noted as black" comment when it was first registered. There has been bodywork done to it. Shoddy rust repair mostly (slap a layer of bondo over the rust and paint it).

I'll be sticking with the stock Ebony Pearl colour for the repairs, but I want to avoid giving my car a two-tone black paint job.
