One thing to remember on pearl and candy colors is that if you get a chip or a scratch... it's real hard to fix...must have the whole panel sprayed.

Marcus... Looked great. Maybe 1 shade darker then send the pic. WOW

Did you mean me? I'll ask my g/f to darken it up a bit.

It's also one of my all time favorite cars...

Pretty sure Ken is looking for a gloss paint so matte black isn't what he needs.

Ken, I would get in touch with Kaleb (Spoolinhard) here. He works at D&R auto paint with my uncle Mike. Mike knows paint better than anyone I've ever talked to and he car probably get you a PPG paint code for what your looking for.

DId I hear my name?

Turbo Regals had a dark Charcoal option available that was slightly lighter than black... It was a GM color. Sorry Ken, no real help, but merely a point of reference, boss-man.

Yes, Sorry, I was agreeing with Marus... Right up the alley but too gray

Hmmm apparently you did... What is so graphite/charcoal that it is almost black???

[minigts]

I would go with this personally. This just looks so awesome. Only downside is I think it's enamel, which really isn't that bad but not many people are using it and not sure if just ANYONE can paint it.

The 2008 metallic carbon black that the SRT-8 Challenger and every new dodge comes in...

THAT...Looks awesome. I'd take either one. :P

There was a nice color my parents had on their 1978 Chrysler Newport that was like what you are suggesting, Ken. I'll have to do a quick paint color search in the morning when I get home since I don't have access to it at work. It was even named after Charcoal!

That photoshop of slasky's car looks amazing!

[fleckster]

Okay, I checked. Search under 1978 Chrysler paint codes. It is called "Charcoal Gray S/F Metallic" and is code A9.

[GLHSKEN]

Found the color.. None mentioned... It was used for the paint on the trim on my SL. Called the painter... What is that... His answer, a black based charcoal. It was sitting right in my driveway...
