Question

Can you not get the paint code from the people in the US?
I know that by the sounds, midnight black is probably totally black where as black mica is flecked with gold so.....

Scoops Ira!! Big Juicy STi7 Ones

I have calculated that is cheaper to have them painted in the states and delivered by Private Lear-jet than to take them to a certain palatine motors ...... :P

good or maybe bad news don't know which. I went on the ici paint computer today at work. ICI ref for blue black mica XLA4B and graphite black 1LKKB. this means that they ain't the same. the blue black is a more complex pearl where as the graphite is a more basic one. Hope this helps mate.
