well my girlfriend backed into my teg this week, and depending on how much insurance gives me I'm looking into the jdm front end...and since my car is a custom color it will need a new paint job, and im a sucker for black tegs...

my question is what is the difference between nighthawk black, flamenco black, and grenada black...

if any of you guys could post pics of yours so i can see the difference that would be very helpful to me

TIA

 

IMO,
Nighthawk Pearl Black = Black w/ blue flakes
Flamenco Pearl Black = Black w/ gold flakes
Granada Black = Just old plain black (I think)

my car is nighthawk black, the blue fleck really comes out in the sun, it's a pretty nice colour, if you want pics i can email them.

Nighthawk has a BLUE pearl
Flamenco has a RED pearl

No idea about Grenada though!

 

granada is the one with gold flake

get nighthawk... it's dope

i have granada right now, and i'm painting my car nighthawk.

 

nighthawk is a shitty colour, i hate it, i was just showing my car as an example, but that was after paint cleaner/swirl remover/polish/carnuba wax. most of the time it looks like ****, i'll take a pic of the current condition and you'll never, ever want this colour.

 

FBP when truely clean has flecks of green, red, blue and purple paint over a very pure black. NHB has less colors but still is very pure and grenada is a pure black that looks sweet shined up.

 

Nighthawk Black Pearl - Definately a sweet color

 

anybody got a pic of one with a jdm front hehe...where is stan when i need him...

 

I just bought a 03 Si lastnight in Nighthawk Black Pearl. IMO the color is bad ***.

Black is a color that looks incredible when taken care off. Its a color for one thats into detailing. If your one to never polish or wax your car this color is not for you. Thats wat i think.

 

i though flamenco was the one with blue flake, and nighthawk is black with more blue flake. i love my flamenco black

+ 2000 integra GSR

 

I don't believe nbp has gold in it. fbp has gold and blue and looks like maybe even silver.

 

does anybody have the correct information?? or do we all disagree haha...

 

I have a 1994 Integra LS that is Granada black pearl and I know for a FACT that it is black with gold flakes.

 

from some reason seen si and teg's i like the si color more i dont know why it just stands out more to me

 

My 99 GSR has FBP and I love it when it shines up. I need to wax it but whatever, her day will come when the sun shines again. I know the flamenco must have some sort of blue because I took a pic of it w/ my digi a few days ago and you could really see the blue well, but I can't find the pic anymore Anyways, this is from last weekend...





And yes, it is dirty as hell in those shots...
