Note to those looking to buy an SVX always be sure to check for well used touch up paint. Next time I am going to bring a magnifying glass with me.

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Update! Well, I still haven't gotten it back but there has been progress. The driver's side is painted and the bumpers, I'm just waiting for them to remove some overspray and wetsand. Here is the drivers side before it was painted

Ebony Pearl

Does anyone know if there is a specific color code that matches the black pearl. Or even better a color that has just a little more red flake in it to give it that maroon reflection.

Thanks

I belive both paint colours are on the plate under the hood close to the pilar on the driver's side. Just a guess.

On a 96 black metalic the color code on the driners side aluminum pannel under the hood is 235. And the window sticker lists it as Ebony Pearl Paint.
