Rep Power: 0 the Infiniti "Super Black" is the darkest black available... i imagine it's just about the same as most other "normal" blacks (i don't know how they would differentiate between shades of black, but apparently there is a method...), but it's definitely darker than the Honda NHBP...

i'll probably be takin these off pretty soon... they look sick, but i think i'm going to go with some like 15"s if i can find some that don't look like $hit... i'll just keep these and the G-Forces they're wrapped in in the garage for like 10 years, then put 'em back off after everyone gets off the Unknown bandwagon... there's a black Civic sedan in my friend's apartment complex that has these rims, and that pissed me off lol... there's even an ugly a$$ green Toyota Tacoma running around here with these rims... the offset is completely wrong, and they look horrible...
i might put the old rims back on... nobody had those...

Actually they're Konig Unknowns. Got pics of your rims though? 
to clear up the black thing, since ive mixed car paint before and know about it all.
you guys would be surprised what colors go into blacks. they all start with a black base (some different choices for black base) then even for a regualar non metallic base black yellow or blue or red might be added and youll never notice but its there. the nhbp does have more of a blueish sparkle because its got some graphite metallic medium coarse in it and also some blue pearl to sparkle off the graphite. if you guys honestly want to know what colors go into a paint, hit me up with the paint code and ill try to get the mixing list for ya and ill explain whats in it.

Maybe his black has no sparkles.

oh and back onto the "whats so diff of the black" theme, heres my civic with
ferrari - nero daytona (black)
heres a few pics and one will show the diff between it and nhbp (hood molding)
you could see it better before but in the resizing i had to make the pic crappier quality so sorry. but you see the ferrari paint is more of a gunmetal in the sun and thats what i was looking for, after all i had every color and variant ever put out by any mfr. to choose from and look through.
**upload file failed ill do it in a few minutes**
(i still regret not going with a real bright blue that i saw that had tons of pearl and very coarse metallic in it)
