when you get VERY close to the paint, in the sunshine, does it have any sparkles, any other colors, blue perhaps, any sheen at all?

i would love to hear that it is perfectly gloss black, but please give me the honest truth. if it IS perfectly black, could you give me the paint code for tarmac black

thank you!

Mine has all sorts of crap on it...dunno, maybe just cuz its an 03. THere's like purple sparkles in it. =/

 

i got the purple too on my 05....it looks sexay though

 

It's not normal gloss black. I have a TB 05, and it appears to me that it is black with small flake and some sort of blue pearl.

 

up close they look awesome

 

cool, thanks for the input guys. not what i really wanted to hear, but very good to know

 

I like the way it looks on my car or any tarmac!

 

When I get up close to mine.....I see a bunch of swirls from waxing it.

 

yep I think all tarmac black evo's have a blue-ish tint to them when up close. it looks sweet, sometimes at a certain angle mine has purple-ish tint.

 

There's a mica fleck in there. Looks cool to me.

red and violet pearl........

 

sorry for bringing this old thread back

But "HONDA" gave the right name to this color>> NIGHTHAWK black

 

I have had two night hawk black cars and it does NOT look like Tarmac black although it is similar. Tarmac has much more purple flake and no green flake. Night hawk had blue and green flake while the Tarmac has purple and blue. From far away or in the shade they look the same, but when the sun hits it I really like the purple from the Tarmac.

Needless to say I'm getting black mr because I actuallly love the color.

 

It is not a pure black. I don't know what flakes are in it, but mine doesn't look pure black.

 

tarmac black has violet and red pearl in it.
