Default Dark metallic grey color options?

I want my car a dark metallic/charcoal/gunmetal grey. It's a '67 Tempest. I have been considering Dark Charcoal Grey Metallic that I saw on an '03 GMC Denali. Does anyone have ideas for other colors I should consider? I want the car to basically look black when in the shade. And, I want something with a little metal flake in it. Any thoughts?

Nik C.

If you can, find a body shop that sprays Sherwin Williams or Martin Senour paints that that has the Prospector Color Reference System. It has over 5000 color chips to pick from! One color to try my be 98-99 Chevrolet Black Mist Metallic. The factory paint code is 41U. Below is a photo of the Prospector Color Reference System.

I saw a newer Tahoe color that I loved! It was maybe a 2010 or around there. It was a pretty dark metallic grey. Anyone know that color? I found this:

Has anyone seen a Black Granite Metallic Tahoe? I think it may be the color I want. I guess I need to go look at the Tahoe's at the dealership.

Thanks, Nik

Looks like Cyber Gray. I've seen this color on a lot of new chevy vehicles. Cool color.

That's a beautiful car. Are you sure of the color? I don't recall a granite metallic offered on the 06 GTO. Love the wheels, what size and offset are they? Tire size?


Hottrodd, the color of the camaro is cyber grey metallic; same as the close-up pic before it.
