Nice!
Do you have another picture of the car in the sun that shows the color better? :)

Thanks.... That is a strange color....almost looks black at night, and as you correctly point out, differs quite a bit between sun and shade

This is my (simplistic) website    http://67rsss.webs.com/   there are several pix on the Exterior tab that show the color in different light

My MM is the same way, color varies greatly with lighting. As do many colors.

Is this a solid color or metallic ?  Frank.

It's a basic color, although i did go with my head instead of my heart and use base/clear

MM is metallic, not solid. PPG 50717. Paints can have either metallics and/or pearls in them. Looking at the formula determines which or both. I've been mixing and spraying paint for twenty years. "Basic" is vague terminology. The most basic being a tint pulled from the machine and used straight with no other tints added to it.
