Paint difference

i have a 94 integra GSR and it needs a paintjob but i dont know if i want to get the same color the car is now which is granada black. i also have a 2005 acura tsx and the color is nighthawk black and i was wondering the black that comes on the 2000, 2001 Type R's is that any different with the 2 black cars i got now.

The 2000 and 2001 Integras had Flamenco Black Pearl (similar to Granada but without gold specks) Its different than your TSX (Nighthawk Black Pearl) and your '94 Integra. Sorry.

Flamenco Black Pearl and Granada are very close. Both are a deep black, the difference is in the colored specks. Nighthawk Black looks purple under some lighting conditions, so stay away from that.

NBP looks blue to me when the sun hits it directly. Personally, I love the color.

My CL was stock tighthawk black, and I got it repainted Subaru java black with gold flakes, you can barely notice the difference in the jams and stuff. If I pointed it out to you and you observed it for a second you might notice, but nobody has noticed it yet in a year. It also helps that when you open doors/hood it creates shadows so it doesnt really show the flake anyways
