Default my car is a 2000 and is black.. is my black the ebony or the brilliant black?,,,,
i'm buying a pre-painted rear bumper, didn't know which color i needed to get, when looking at my paint up close it has a glitter to it.. anyone have any idea, i bought the car used so i don't know for sure.

Default Sounds like the Ebony Pearl to me...
...but check the build sticker in the door to be safe. LZ9W is the code for Ebony Pearl and LY9B is the code for Brilliant Black.

Default i dunno. is your car black or ebony?
its pretty easy to tell.
if its a 00, then it could also be volcano black. does it look black (brilliant black), or light black with sparkles (ebony pearl), or a dark gray with sparkles (volcano)?

Default You should be able to get the paint code off the door and call a
local dealer. They should be able to tell you either by the paint code or your VIN

Default sounds like ebony pearl
that's what i have. ebony pearl has metallic flakes in it and makes it "glitter" a bit. brilliant black is a straight-up deep black.

Default I know the VIN won't tell you the paint code, but a dealer
may be able to put the VIN into their database and get the stats on what the car had when it was shipped.
