Whats difference from 2000 Type R/ GSR black cuz both my car and my friends car have oem original paint never retouched but they look different. Can any one give me info if the pearls are different or its just a name?

the shades are different, they have to be. i've worked in the parts department at an acura dealership for the past three years and if american honda/acura changes a part number as far as color codes go, there is a difference in that particular color. i was trying to put an aspec wing on my rsx(2004) and they were only available for '05-'06 models. my car was SSM (satin silver metallic or NH623M) and the aspec wing for '05-'06 was ASM (Alabaster Silver Metallic or NH700M). the two colors looked extremely close in shade, barely noticeable to the untrained eye, but i could tell a difference and therefore opted against the wing. just my .02

NHBP only has blue specs. FBP has blue, green, and purple specs, which is noticeable in sunlight or with a flash.

A lot of misinformation spreading here. Lets keep it simple, NHBP has blue flakes and FBP has gold flakes.
