   Hey all, anybody name a close paint colour to carbon fibre. I know some saxo's come in a gun metal grey colour but I wanna really close match. Il have carbon panels on the car so at first glance it looks standard till you get closer and see the weave.

   Yeah gun metal is abit light. It's more of a light black if that makes scence. I was gonna go for matt black but the cf panels are gloss
