Paint code for 97 Ebony Black?

Hello,

I have searched but I guess not too well (I am rushed).

Can anyone please provide me with the PAINT CODE for the 97 Ebony SVX? If production batch matters mine is car number 0014.

Thanks in advance,

Max

Re: Paint code for 97 Ebony Black?

Hello All,

I am sorry but I am still somewhat confused. I see either codes 235 or 135 or 035 for black. Which is the correct color for my car.

I have a 1997 black car VIN

JF1-CX8654 VH100014

On the window sticker it states the words "EBONY PEARL PAINT" on the right column just above the Destination and Delivery charge of $495.00

I really don't want to get the paint wrong.

Thanks

Max

Re: Paint code for 97 Ebony Black?

Does your paint have red or green metallic flakes in it?

They are all the same code for that color. Like was posted before, if it will make you feel better, look at the tag under the hood.

Thats odd, more than one code for the same color? I wanted to order the paint prior to the car going in for repair and the hood is jammed shut due to that "ASS" of a snow removal truck drive who bumped my car in the rear and the SUV's rear spare tire bent my hood lip just enough to prevent it from opening freely. Once I open it I wont be able to drive it safely. Guess I will assume 235 but wait till I drive it to teh body shop and have them open it up.

Thanks to all for the posts.

Re: Paint code for 97 Ebony Black?

Sorry to hear about your snow related damage Max.

Yours is 235, but they are all exactly the same. When you get the bonnet up you will see 235, it's the later code.

Max Ebony Pearl has red mica undertones. Green Mica Ebony does not exist. It's my contention that there are one or two cars on the Network that have green flecks, and these were caused by a respray mistake in the paint shop.

Probably used the Outback Black Mica. Our '97 has green metal flake in it.
