Homer Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 My Mondeo is Ford Pather black. It's acutally a pearl though mate, not metallic. The painwork looks very nice when highly polished, but a little bit of dust and the car just looks grey. There are nicer colours out there Edit - there's a fantastic graphite colour I love, it's either a Lambo or Aston one. Someone here recently sprayed their supra this colour...

baldy Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 well it'd be bmw carbon black then for me looks very dark blue in the sun but black most of the time very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Have a look at the following mate: Porsche Basalt Black (code Z4) or if you've got the money go for the House of Kolor 'Black Gold' from the designer pearl range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, its actually a metallic the panther black ( i work for Ford ) and its very very nice imho..just wanted to know the alternatives I also like the lambo colour your talking about, Lamborghini Grigio Avlon which is very nice. How much would that paint be? would it be any more expensive than normal paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says Pather black pearl on the dealer book, but you will know better than those lot As mentioned, it does look very nice when it's polished up. Yep, thats the lambo colour I meant, it suits the supra lines so well. It's not too disimilar to the Gunmetal supra colour, but a bit darker and has a more shine to it. If I were repainting it'd be top of the list. All I could find on the net was it was a $3900 option on the Lambo when buying new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 It should be able to be mixed with the code (0049) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 There's a gorgeous deep gunmetal grey colour called Daytona grey available on the Audi R8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Honda do some nice 'pearl' blacks - Nighthawk Black has green flecks in it, Pirates Black has purple flecks in it, and Granada Black has gold flecks in it. They are subtle from a distance, but show up in the sunlight. Alternatively you could always have your sprayer put some pearl in the lacquer when you have your car sprayed if you are after something different? That is what I went for when I had a respray. Looks blinding in the sun, only downside is that is looks 'dusty' when not in the sun due to the flakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
