Hey, I was just wondering what the differences between nighthawk black pearl and flamenco black pearl were. Is one darker? Does one have more pearl? Is it moreso a name change than a tonal change? In your opinion, which one looks better? Thanks

 

NBP has specks of blue in it... FBP has almost no specks. Both colors are considered a metallic "pearl".

 

Specs? I guess maybe i should wash my car i might see them

 

The FBP still has blue specks. I have seen a FBP front bumper on a NBP car and it matched up pretty goood. Only in some angles can you tell. one is darker than the other in certain shades of light.

sorry, but not true. NBP has the blue specs while the FBP has blue specks/flakes as well as green, purple, and yellowish specs. there is a picture on the board where this is shown in a picture with flash. i will look for it.

 

My NBP has blue, purple, and green flakes.

Also, corn flakes.

 

You can only tell a NBP part on a FBP car in direct sunlight. NBP looks purpleish compared to Flamenco Black Pearl.
&lt;-- who has NBP fender on an otherwise FBP car.

that's makes no freakin' sense. how are blue specks in black paint make it purpleish? it makes more sense that the green, purple, and yellowish specks in the black paint makes it more purpleish.

You got that right! Notice I owning take pics in the shade! You see every scratches in the world.

 

both are fake.. so whats the big deal here. unless you put one next to another most won't even tell a difference.

 

All I know is: I've had to explain to at least a dozen people that my car is black, and not a really dark blue. Oh yeah, I have NBP.

 

FBP = Gold Specs
NBP = Blue Specs

 

whateva... 80% of my car's been repainted anyway - mine has lots of blue flecks.

I've seen both in person, and IMO FBP looks more "black" and NBP looks more blue....

They BOTH however show dirt and swirl marks like a ****

That doesn't mean you can't imagine what one would look like assuming it were black.
