that guide is very useful
more generally I would suggest a black primer, but then basecoat the model in a dark grey, leaving the black showing in the recesses, this adds depth to the model but the eye still thinks of it as 'black' charadon granite was a great colour for this, although it may be worth going to the trouble of mixing up a bottle of a good, dark grey colour, it is often a good idea to add some blue to give it a hard, metallic feel
for highlighting, I suggest edging first in shadow grey (or whatever it is known as now) then for the sharp and bright edges mixing a few spots of a blue-grey into a large amount of white, get your brush saturated with it, then wipe off any excess, you should now be able to gently edge along the tops of panels and on sharp lines with thin layers of blue-white which will help the model look shiny
that's my suggestion anyway
ps. I'd avoid drybrushing personally as it can lend models a 'chalky/dusty' appearance which reduces the impact of the harsh black panels
