how many black paints??
 

i am currently looking for my 1st scooby, and this may get slated but i was wondering how many versions of black there is and the differences.

I have seen mica black but have yet to find one in this colour available.

i have seen obsidian black and graphite black whats the difference?

Subaru Paint Codes

Looks like for the classic models there were 2 blacks, and for new age models there's 3.
I thought they were all similar being black with a hint of a red fleck through it, the only one that is clearly different is the blue black (as that has a blue fleck instead of red)

cheers for that.

seems that mica black stopped in 2000 but i know blob eye imprezas have mica black, wondering if mica black is same as obsidian black now..........anyone know?

well my car is a 2002 bug sti prodrive and is down on reg, doc as obsidian black, but is really a black with blue flecks in it, so not sure if the reg.doc is wrong, as they did make a flat black that i thought was the obsidian black.

Mica black is normally the one with the red fleck, on the classic shapes

cheers for that am slowly building up an idea lol, i woulda thought graphite black would b the flat black, and obsidian would b either the red or blue fleck. just i really like the mica, and know its on a car i'm lookin at buying which is a 2003 model.

i guess you are probly right, graphite is flat black, mine is blue black ( not obsidian lol) and obsidian must be the red fleck... let me know when you find out as im intrigued now!

loli'm on the case!!

Don't know the official names for them, but I have had newage WRX's in both metallic black with a gold flake, and metallic black with a blue flake. I think the gold was bugeye and the blue a blobeye, or was it the other way round :wonder:

Metallic black for the bugeye had gold flake..... I was very tempted when I bought my MY02 WRX but eventually went for fag packet blue :)

My blobeye wrx is black with gold flakes.

OK.......I'm wrong on the bugeye / blobeye thing but I stick with my first post in that the gold flake looked real nice :D
