Was set on painting my crx is300 gunmetal but thats when I was using motegi mr7's. Ive since sold them for slipstreams and I painted them gunmetal with a polished lip.

I have also decided to paint my car black. WHY? Because if this disguting beast of a car

(hope the owner doesnt mind me posting that but its amazing)

So Im looking for a nice oem black, I think the s2000 is a little to reflective and I want a more stealthy black, hard to explain.

I have noticed the CRV's have a nice shade of black but cant find any nice pics.

Thanks

 

i like BMW black - very rich

 

Are you looking for a deep blue black or a black with more yellow or brown in it. For example on the newer mecedes it would be more of a blue black or has more blue in it. An example of a black with more yellow or brown would be like the the black on the nissan Murano 2003 model. I like a black called jet black from Spies & Hecker I think is the or its from DuPont it is a deep blue black. The mercedes black is the bomd.

Have any nice pics of this black you guys are talking about?

Just found out the black Ive been seeing on the CRV is the same black as the RSX

 

Bentley

 

You could try a black with a little pearl in it like the black on my car which is Nighthawk Black Pearl. It is black with just a hint of blue in it which looks really good but it may be that it is my color but i don't know.

 

Is there any blacks with metallic in it?

 

Like a silver metal flake? What you should probably do is go to an automotive paint store and look through some chip books and find what you want. That is probably the fastest way to find what you want.

 

how about, granada black pearl

 

Yes, there are blacks with mettalics in them there are even clear coats with mettalics in them. Pretty much if you can think up a color it can be made, but knowing if the panit will look good on the car is the trick. The best thing to do is go look at some car lots and find a black you like and search the web using makers sites for new cars and you could probably contact Dupont and other paint makers to find out the paint code.

I second that.

 

Go with a straight black. No metallics or tints. Much meaner looking. Unless you want something with flair, then go with what Redneck Dave just recommended.

 

Well it is going on a SHO KAW so I want it to stand out a bit I suppose

 

thats what i got
Black with gold in it......soooooo gorgeous

 

what about sti 04 java black its got a dark mocha black with gold peral in it

 

2004 WRX black, it has a gold pearl in it, looks like a very dark green sometimes!!!
