Toyota Atsral Black is just Black?

Post by moscoworbust »

Hi,

I need to paint my front and rear bumpers on my 91 mk2 turbo.

It's black, which supposedyk is code 202 or Astral Black.

This is rubbish right? Black is black, i can use any black. Has anyone done this? Did anything match well?

I would stick with Astral Black 202 for the perfect match.

there is metallic, pearlescent, gloss, matte black. some with more 'flakes' in so it looks a lighter shade. go ahead and paint it using what you want but i garentee you will regret not using the right colour
