I think I'll do it. Does anyone know the paint code?

Should I just buy some "match a color" from Auto Zone? I want to do this correctly, so I want to get the info first. Thanks guys. ~Joshua

I think it will take away from the sleek lines of your chrome and jet black... but it wont look bad thats for sure. Either way, but thats why I voted no.

the color I used was Dark Spiral Grey, mixed with a touch of black to darken it up. But a paint shop did mine. you should as Silver02ta, his is nice and dark and I believe he spray bombed it.

+1 If you are going to do anything to it, just make it flat black! The Charcoal on black just does not appeal to me, I dunno what it is, but it just does not look good on black cars to me. I vote no, however, it is your car and you should do whatever makes you happy!

I showed my fiance' the picture of the Blackbird in the 1st post and she said "NO." If you do that you wont be able to use some of our wedding gift money on your D1 Procharger.

I guess that settles that. I like it though.
