B-L-A-C-K Paint Query
My car stock: GBP
Paint I got last year: NBP
My car got keyed 2 months ago and I need a new paintjob so I'm wondering about the different shades of black that are available. Is there a site that describes the different manufacturers paint codes and the flake in them?
I think the black of the 350Z has a greyish flake to it, NBP has a blue flake.
Kind of a dumb topic but any help would be great.
Here it is in NBP but with the wheels I'm thinking a silver flake would look sharper

Pretty much
I'm wondering about other companies codes, like Nissan/Infinity, Subaru, Dodge (Viper Black), etc..

I'd start with a factory black of some kind and have more pearl added to it.

Good idea?
Im also curious about a plain jet black, no flake at all. I'd have to check it out in person i think

Re: B-L-A-C-K Paint Query (-Todd-)
What i think you should do is paint it regular black with a white pearl. The paint wont look white at all. What it will do is give the back a blue tint.
Its a great look

if you want a black with silver pearl/flake, go with the metallic black pearl off 05-up chryslers (it's on the new jeeps, chargers, and 300's)

This paint color looks crazy good, and very dark as well.

I think the Lexus black is a tru straight black paint if i remember correctly. But if your going to paint ur car black be prepared to take car of it cuz black is a hard color to keep clean and a hard color to buff if you got scratches. I know cuz i have a black car and im a detailer and black is no fun.
