Thumbs up It was my color of choice

Right from the '03, I was zero'ed in on the black. Black on black is like WOW!!! Very sexy and mean as hell!

When I wash my beast, a whole new level of respect goes with it! Just AWESOME....AWESOME!

congrats on the ride.

what's the difference between the 06 black and the all the other black?

I honestly can't tell from the pictures. Can some one put an 03-05 SB beside an 06 MB to compare the difference?

Or is it something that the camera can't pick up?

I believed the 06 now has metal flake.

Yeah I don't think a camera can really do it justice. The difference is metal flake as 350Zenophile said. I have an 03 Maxima with the Super Black and an 06 Z with the Magnetic Black. It is a big difference in person. If enough light gets reflected off it, it will look almost like a real dark grey in spots, but in shadow it looks like a very deep black. Nothing but glossy black from a short distance or further. Very nice paint IMO.

Default SB vs MB

Thanks noodleman! Its an awesome car!

I don't have a Super Black so someone will have to do the shot for that but I can say my Magnetic Black really only looks different up close when light reflects off it. In some parts of the world, Nissan calls it Diamond Black.

I took many pics of its color. I'll check my pics and look for a few that are good views. I'll probably need to take more to capture its true color. A camera can really screw it up and not show what it looks like for real when in person. Too much light coming into the camera and it looks almost like a gray with flakes. Thats not what it looks like when you see it with your eyes without sunglasses. Nissan did an awesome job combining the two together.

Can you type more than one word? In about 95% of your posts, they are all either 'cool', 'nice', or 'so dumb'.

Unhappy I'm about ready to throw in the towel!

I've been trying to get a good view of the Magnetic Black in a pic or two and it comes out pathetic each and every time.

If I could capture what my eyes see...well that would be just too cool!

I'm gonna keep working on it though. The flakes are just way too cool not to show off.

Drive On!

I think magnetic black's flakes are just too hard to capture. YOU need alike a damn good camera to do that. Its hard to capture the metallic look in the DB. I need to see MB in person, but I am sure I got a good idea of what I looks like!
