Black or Not Ink Black?

[David]

I have just bought a 99T 115 HLX. The car is black (below), but has a very slight green/grey tinge to it. Everything states the colour is Ink Black, is this correct? I think I have seen darker Bravos - what colour are they?

Thanks

The colour number should be on the inside of your boot lid when you open it on a little silver sticker.
It should give you the colour code there.
I think if it's plain Black then it's colour code 601, if it's Ink Black it's colour number 820

Sorry if i'd correctly read your question, my answer would have been something like this.
The darker Bravos you've seen are Black (non metallic), you have the metallic Ink Black which has tinges of blue and grey in it.

Cheers Si, that's my answer. I'll have a look at the code when I pick the car up.


What do people prefer - black or Ink black?

I prefer black ink myself (may have something to do with owning one). The dirt doesn't show up quite as much on the black ink

WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST ON PARKING RIGHT NEXT TO ME IN HALF EMPTY CAR PARKS, THEN WHACKING MY CAR WITH THEIR DOORS????????????
When I pointed out to a stupid woman there were dozens of empty spaces she could have parked in she asked what right I had to tell her where to park. Admittedly, she did not mark or damage my car, but she had to open her door right on to mine to be able to squeeze out of her car!

Ink Black

Forgot to look at the code, but definitely ink black

Want to sell my Astra (in background) before swapping insurance over, but the suspense in killing me!!!

There are a couple of light scratches on the car - does anyone recommend any products to remove them?
