I have used it before i have no pics of it, but if you want the darkest black get some blue kandy concentrate from House of Kolor and mix in some with the black and you will be able to see dead people in the paint.

I have custom painted bikes many times with that color and there is no black that compares.

yeah cobalt blue. I would use half the bottle of concentrate for a gallon. Even if you add the whole thing you wont mess up, the black will eat it up.
Cobalt blue concentrate= KK05
Black= BC25

dupont croma base (brownblack-blue black)
Hi all.
I hope some one out there has an answer.
I painted my 1933 vickey body( not the doors) around 15 years ago.
I used dupont croma base factory pac G9900S this is a base coat -clear coat.
Now 15 years later I am painting doors, yes I did save some paint. but sad to say
not enough. So I bought same color G9900S factory pac black. I painted doors did clear coat and hung drivers door -Polished front edge and paint is just a little off. Looking at the difference I think the old paint is a blue-black and the new is a brown-black. I also painted sample plate withe new paint and then painted 1/2 with old paint(edge to edge) did clearcoat and Just as I thought. You can see a differance. So to day I painted doors with old color(blue black) and I am running out of color. I need enough paint to paint hood with corect color.
I will paint hood with new color (brown black)and try to paint last coat with corect color.
I guess what I am looking for here is anyone with some 15 year old dupont croma base black or info on when and if dupont did change( blue black -brown black) Any thoughts???????
