    how many shades of black? Best colour?

    how many shades of black were available on B4`s?

    that black B4 Saloon i had, lets say had an array of pannel colours

    only looked odd from certain angles, like brown wing in the sun etc

    just poor paint or with pannels seemingly from different cars just bad luck?

    or was there several paint codes for metalic black??

    what looks the best?

    what shade would you be painting it if it was your car, late Audi black or origional?

    just wondered

    Mine's about 50 shades of white

    If you're going for a new colour then you could always stick with the stock paint code and then add something a little special into the lacquer. Seen this done with a little copper flake and it looked really nice and subtle. Could use any colour flake you liked...

                    All my paint code says is 9Z due to the first 2 digits being scrubbed off

                    its metalic black, albeit many many shades of metalic black lol

                    will we guess at Panther black?
