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

 

i definitely dont know the answer to your question, but i like the car!

sorry about it being keyed...screw haters.

Anyone know the details on Infinity G35 black? Is there a flake to it?

Pretty much

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

 

there is a black that comes on subaru WRX's that looks pretty good, has like silver and blue flakes as I recall. Ive seen it paitned on a hatch around here and it looked super clean.

 

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

 

I like the black on the Infiniti M45's. I think its called Black Obsidian.

 

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

**** thats worth getting just b/c of the name...

 

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)

 

obsidian black has blue and gold flakes....looks pretty good, my gfs legacy came with it

 

I'm glad you started this thread I'm also in the market for a new black paint-job.

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

 

NBP

 

Nighthawk black!

 

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.

i was looking @ starting a thread like this myself but didn't know where to make it or what exactly to say. ..also j/w is there like anyway you can view like paint guides that like PPG or Dupont or anybody have without having to spend all that $ to buy them? i can't decide.. dunno if i should keep my prelude white & add metallic or go with a black setup..
