Just picked up a O5 TL/Navi Black/parch, I've noticed at night when direct light is on the car, it seems like its a Dark blue color, not black. Anyone know why ?

 

there are blue metalic specles in your paint. Its perfectly normal, and some here thing it looks better then just the plain old black

 

That is the pearl in the paint that is causing that blue in the sunlight look. You paint is still black, it definately is... just has the blue speckled pearl in it too... Personally I think it kicks ass...

 

I noticed that too... but i already knew about it from being such a whore on this forum and reading everything i could before i bought the car.

 

Thanks Guys,

And while i have you all here lol, I cant seem to find anything on breaking in the engine, i tried doing a search here and looking in the TL Manual.

Any links for the TL fourm so i can read about it

 

Check this link on Engine Break In and hopefully it will answer your question. BTW, congrats on your new ride and welcome to the forum......

 

*ahem* It's "African-American" nowadays.

 

ROLF... didnt see that comming

 

To my knowledge, the last "truly" black paint color Acura had was Flamenco Black Pearl. Thats what my '97 has for its color. NO blue under the light. Very high maintainence paint though.

 

you can see it at different angles in the sunlight also. I love the paint color on this car

 

Don't say "whore" or Jatt will show up and then you'll know what a REAL whore is!

You couldn't possibly be a "whore" with only one greenie.

Besides, we don't tolerate "whoring" around these parts. That's when you post a bunch of one-line responses or smilies to increase your post count. Besides being against the rules, it takes up band width and messes up people's thread continuity.

My fellow Mega Mod, Ron A, has memorized the TL Owner's Manual and can be very helpful on the more esoteric issues. Just make sure you look in the manual before you ask or you will get the dreaded:

RTFM!!!
