ive had my honda for a long time now and i have never really scene another honda the same color from afar it looks black but up close its has like glitter in it.

 

Yeah, you have a three stage paint job, which didn't come on any Civics as far as I know. It looks good though, from what I can see.

 

looks more like a single stage metallic looks like a maaco paint job

 

ooo good to know i thought it was diff the ppl at the body shop told me it wasnt that is was stock but didnt know the number or what it was called

 

it kind of looks like granada black metallic clearcoat, code NH-503P

almost has too much sparkle though.. i'm not really sure lol. whats the color code in the door say it should be?

 

Looks like normal Granada Black Pearl to me.

Most Honda blacks have pearl in them.

That's not a three stage paint job btw. Milano Red is a tricoat paint.

 

THE paint code says its Granada black but i didnt think granada black had glitter

 

yep it has metallic flake in the clear

 

Could that also flamenco black pearl? Looks similar to the 99-00 EM1's color

 

That's what I was thinking.

My Nighthawk Black Pearl 99 CRV and my (I think) Granada Metallic 96 Accord both had tons of flecks in them.

Personally I hate Honda blacks. I can never get them to look clean, no matter what. Wifey likes black cars though.

 

If I recall...

Granada Black Pearl (yes, it's called "pearl") has red and green pearl.

Flamenco Black Pearl has gold pearl.

Nighthawk Black Pearl has blue pearl.

I'm a big fan of Berlina Black (on the S2000), but it never had a pearl. It is true I'd hate the upkeep for a black car. I'd want it to be perfect all the time and I don't have the equipment for that.

Black paint usually (from afar) looks the same to me, but Berlina stands out.

 

Forgot about Berlina Black... it's the shiz. By far the best Honda black.

And on that note, one of my favorite BB S2Ks on honda-tech:
