I've had my 04 TL for a few months and when ever I wash it my girlfriend always say it looks blue. When you look up really close into the paint, you see a a blue color with sparkles or some glitter. The car however is black but when the sun hits certain pannels or corners it appear blue. Am I loosing my mind or what?

 

Nope that's the beauty of the Acura paint. It's black with like blue swirls in it!

 

Its georgous paint man- I've had people come right up and point it out, several times!! Thats NBP for ya

 

that blue glittery color is the "pearl" in nighthawk black pearl, NBP.

 

thats a good thing

 

That's because the NBP paint is even ashamed to be NBP.

WDP FTW

 

Yeah that's what I thought, just wanted to double check, because the lip spoiler I just added on came painted and really doesn't have that effect. I bought the lip spoiler off ebay and it was NBP, and matches pretty well, however I don't see the little sparkles...

 

Sorry to hear that, bro. I've had some work done with painting some parts, and it matches perfectly.




Remember, the NBP factory paint code is B92P.
