I have the same also. I believe it's called "Granite Silver Pearl." If you go to paintscratch.com, they have a list of the colors. Here they are with their color codes:

Juniper Green Pearl Clearcoat G-79P
Granada Black Metallic Clearcoat NH-503P
Taffeta White NH-578
Cayman White Pearl Tri-coat NH-585P
Starlight Black Pearl Clearcoat NH-592P
Garnet Red Pearl Clearcoat R-91P
Desert Mist Metallic Clearcoat YR-506M
Granite Silver Pearl Clearcoat YR-509P

Your label should be on your driver's door pillar. It looks like this:

I have Flamenco Black Pearl, its a more "expensive" paint that Acura had, 4 layers instead of 3. Its also a true black as opposed to Nighthawk Black which has a purplish tinge to it under light.

This must be very common on the black pearl tls. Is it the lower part of the front bumper? It has like a greyish layer on top now (but only when your close enough).

i didn't get it at first so i went outside and looked at my car and my sisters 99 nighthawk black pearl accord ex sedan and mine has blue spots while hers has purple.

This must be very common on the black pearl tls. Is it the lower part of the front bumper? It has like a greyish layer on top now (but only when your close enough).
yea i can see the primer on my front bumper...its pretty bad you can see it from pretty far away. but my front bumpers cracked cus the dealership overtightened the front plate making the area around the screws crack

My bumper is mashed up to..stone chips have basically made it look like it's been sandblasted.....Getting the whole front end painted, bumper, hood, fenders for $500 by a friend next month, can't WAIT for that to happen. Will make the car look brand new as the rest of it is fine!

Mine's Flamenco Black Pearl. If you look closely, it has blueish-purplish specks in it that I think really enhances the finish. dj
