Umm try Granada Black Pearl, it was a 2000's GM factory color. It should match decently

i figured a pearl black would be my best shot. i head over to a GM parts shop and see if i can get some of this stuff. thanks for the tip Zridder!

No problem Nexx, You might need to add a bit more back to the touch up paint tho to darken it, but I know that it has the right pearl and flake in it to give you a decent match. Again not sure how close its going to be but you can work with it. I know all this because thats the color I based the paint of my car off of:cool:

the diamond black really isnt as black as gloss, it similar to a cf black but a bit darker.

Yea then Granada Black Pearl should be right down your alley. Like I said, I did a custom blended paint based off of Granada Black so that I could do a paint fade onto my fiber hood. It looks exactly like fiber. So im sure it will be close enough for what you are looking for.

Yeah, diamond black is a pretty unique finish. It's not that glossy. It's almost like a deep gunmetal with a flake in it.
