With the news of Phantom Black becoming available as an option for the GSR, I'm very interested in getting my X in PB. There seems to be a lot of confusion over what Phantom Black looks like. Many people (including my dealer) seem to think the dark metallic gray/black is the Graphite Gray. I believe it is either Tarmac Black or Phantom Black because I have seen pictures of Gray cars that are slightly darker than Silver and look similar to the GG in the IX.
Does anyone have pictures that clearly show the difference between Graphite Gray and Phantom Black?
I always thought that Phantom Black, Tarmac, & Phantom Black Pearl (JDM) were all the same color, just named differently in different regions.:slaphead:
I've seen a Lancer in Tarmac black and it was basic black without any metallic flake at all. I thought Phantom black pearl which obviously has some metallic flake in it would be lighter, then GG would be lighter again.
I saw the black on the base lancer and it is solid black with no metallic, not the same as the Tarmac Black on the Evo X from New Zealand. So the question still remains, what is Phantom Black?
The car from the AZ lot is definitely Graphite Grey but are the others Phantom Black or are they the Tarmac Black like the car from NZ?
phantom black has three coatings, first one is like a metallic gold, then black, then a clear coating i believe? i know the gold gives it a metallic shine.
The color looks even better in person...in fact, the whole car does! I can't wait to start seeing these things on the road
