One may not be darker than the other, but NBP is definately sexier than FBP.

NBP has more blue specs.

A front lip will not match in certain lights and angles but overall, the average person will not be able to tell.

Re: Which is Darker? FBP or NBP? (Mires)

there's a lot of misinformation going around here. let me clarify.

FBP: black with blue, green, and purple speckles. there may be other speckles in there, but i mentioned the most obvious.
NBP: black with only blue speckles.

sorry, but i don't know which one looks darker. i love my FBP over the NBP though.

edit: btw, 00 type Rs that were black were FBP. o1 type Rs that were black were NBP.

Every FBP I've ever seen has only had gold specs in it. Grenada Black Pearl had the multiple colors in it.

Re: Which is Darker? FBP or NBP? (danny98r)

ahh, that would make sense about the 01 itr's being nbp becuase I've only seen blue specs.

thanks nighthawk and b2finity!

I think Granada Black (older GSR's) is probably the darkest. No flake in that paint.

Re: Which is Darker? FBP or NBP? (ebelp)

Yah I'm having a bitch of a time finding out what the hell my paint actually is. It just got repainted NH-503P (GBP I think), but there are flakes in it.

Haha, my RS is a mutant...

FBP always looked kinda purple to me.
whereas the NHBP just looks straight up blue.
and grenada looks kinda grey, IMO
my favorite is nighthawk non pearl

Hmm...my granada black GSR didn't have any flake in it. Maybe it was repainted and no one told me.
