Title: Black Magic LC9Z paint
Post by: hugh jass on October 24, 2010, 03:12:36 pm

 Both mirrors and skirts need chips/scratches repairing. I got a tin of Hycote which was supposed to match but turned out to be more brown than black. Where can I get a proper colour match for black magic    Thanks

VW, I think Halfords can make the paint for you also.

This is correct  Ive got silver flecks in my Black Magic and Ive seen blue and gold flecks (looked gold under showroom lights)
   Confusion reigns. :confused: :confused:
  Thanks to topsgti Ive messaged DSGwagen hoping they can solve this paint problem
  Im off to my local parts factor and then if all else fails Im solving the problem with some nice carbon covers

Apologies for bumping such an old topic, but I've had the same problem for a while now where my LC9Z has been sprayed and it looks more browny than deep black though the flakes are all there.. Looked like a perfect match before the lacquer so maybe that could be causing some discolouring?

Thanks.

I've just had my front bumper painted LC9Z on my 58reg Pirelli and it doesn't match the rest of the car.... It hasn't got enough silver in it so it doesn't look metallic enough!! Gutted...
