Ebony Black 4x4.

I was told it was pretty rare on a '91 plate, it's not metallic, just a flat black.

If it is how many were made in this colour? Anyone know?

Cheers

cos47

not sure how many are about now mate but you dont see too many when you are at the shows

LeviA

I'm sure I read somewhere that there were 12 or so Ebony Black Saph Cossies, would be lovely if true!

cos47

No mate it was alot more than that 2wd were rare 4x4 were a little more common think there were 50 2wd

cos im worth it

LeviA Your Saph Must be Gloss Black mate if its non Metallic mate, as Ebony Black is Metallic.

LeviA

Now I'm right confused lol, according the crack my car was sold as Ebony Black but I can't see any metallic in the colour it's just flat black. Supposedly the paint colour is rare!

Fuck knows lol

Dan

I nearly bought a Black 2WD before buying my Mercury Grey one, glad I didn't as it was fuckin minging!

Blacks a nice colour for a Saph though

cos im worth it

LeviA not been funny mate but has the car had a full Shoot? just asking as my old J plate Saph was Ebony Black, after i sold it the new owner had a full shoot done on it and had it done in Gloss Black. To be honest i'm not keen on gloss black and thinked it looked much better Ebony but everyone to there own i suppose. That just might explane the car being Ebony on paper but actually Gloss Black paint. As for it being rare i think it might be a 2wd in Ebony that will be rare, as i think all the early Black Saphs were Gloss Black. Hope this helps and i'm sure i will be corrected if im wrong

Mines Gloss Black, I was told this was more rare that the Ebony Black.

If it's supposed to be 'flat' black, the slam panel plate will say 'zwartz' (feel free to correct my speeling!). I think if it's Ebony black it'll say something slightly different...

LeviA

Car has never been painted, I range Automotive Unlimited today and he said Ford did a Ebony in both flat and metallic, mine's flat Ebony!

cos im worth it

Thats a new one on me mate, they are possibly right as im not 100% sure but i honestly think All Ebony Blacks Saphs are metallic. as cozmeister said above, what does it say on the colour tag mate?

LeviA

According to the guy at AU the 'flat' Ebony was a special paint order.

I haven't got the car with me at the moment but I'll check the code when I get it back tomorrow (in for a gearbox leak )

Is it the end 4 or 5 numbers which determines the paint code mate?

cos im worth it

It will Say something like Zwartz or im sure mine said Ebony or something very simlar on the colour Tag, if you look at your picks what you posted on your other thread im sure it says Zwartz or simlar if you zoom in. why worry anyway mate it is a rarer colour Gloss Black than Ebony, i just think the garage has got there colours mixed up when they told you. if you look at Ebony Black it has a grey look to it as yours will be deep black.

LeviA

I'm not really arsed, I'd just like to know when I get a touch up pen to touch in a couple of stone chips on the bonnet!

It'd be nice if it was a rare colour but as long as she behaves that's the main thing lol

cos im worth it

Yeah mate to right, she looks a lovely one mate and low miles too, are you a member of the RSOC? as there is the Durham RSOC from up our way.

LeviA

Thanks mate

I used to be in the RSOC years ago, about 95 I think, always had RS's but never really bothered with the meets etc.

I knew a lad who used to go to the Durham RSOC and he tried to get me along a few times, I once went to the one at Seaham about 10 yrs back lol

cos im worth it

The Durham group are a good bunch mate, i can never get to the meets as i always seem to be on the bloody wrong shift! there are a couple of black saphs in the group too, my old one being one of them, i think i will have to get a couple of half holidays put in and get myself back up when my motors back out for summer. Have a pop along one summer night for a pint, its only round the corner from you at Whickham.

LeviA

Aye I might have a deek bud, pint and some nice cars

LeviA

Checked the paint code today on the car, definitely not Ebony, just says Zwart.... must be common Black lol

As you can see the Ebony has just 1 tinter in ( SOLID BLACK ), where as the Ebony effect has a few tinters and a metallic tinter!

Hope that helps the argument!!!
