Did they change the color of the black paint at all fromm 2000 - current. My black car looks like its a metalic black other than other audis which are glossy black, any1 have any input

 

Anyone know????

 

i have a 2001 and is is just glossy black. no metalic

 

my car is a 96 and it's just plain gloss black. there's also a color they call volcano black or some **** and it looks kind of like a dark gunmetal more than a black. don't know what years it was available though, sorry.

 

There have been lots of black.
Volcano Black (Metallic)
Brilliant Black (Non-Metallic)
Raven Black (Metallic) (edit - actually this is a TT color)
Ebony Pearl Effect (Metallic)

In 2000 the Volcano Black became Ebony Pearl Effect.
Black B5 - Yours is Brilliant Black.
