Get a color correction and ceramic, and you'll love it. My buddy did that.

 

I think it just has too much flake in it. You may be right. right now its just all flake.

 

@StSomewhere probably has some great pictures of his

 

 

They made two versions of black V's. Raven and Diamond. You buy the one with with the flake in the paint, then complain about the flake in the paint?

 

meh, bought

bough it sight unseen over the internet. lol

 

Way back when I was looking for a V, the local dealer had a black diamond. As soon as we walked up to it, my wife was all “Hell no”.

my wife says it looks like a bass boat for a pimp

 

Mine made a comment about me being too straight, or too old, I’m not sure. I stopped listening once she said no.

Which is odd, because you are neither.

This is the most ass backwards thread Ive seen in a hot minute... I had a choice of three colors at the dealer and swore I would never buy another black vehicle until I saw the black diamond in the sunlight. By far one of the best colors they produced and people go nuts about it in the sunlight. It hides dust much better than a Raven black car as well. Black diamond tricoat FTW! And yea... if your car looks dirty from OP, its because its not color corrected properly and maybe try a ceramic coating on it.... mine looks wet.

 

I wish chroma gray had that metal flake in it too!

 

I have long stated I'd never buy another Charcoal/graphite/metallic grey/asphalt-colored car. I previously owned a charcoal metallic 80's GM sedan that was apparently invisible as people would pull out in front of the damned car like it was never there. I'm also not a big fan of black cars, I really wanted OBM or CRT but when I got the chance to grab up this stick shift coupe I wasn't going to let the color shut me down. Then the unexpected happened; After viewing the car is the sunlight after a decent wash, I was amazed that I'm really LIKING BDT! I have a Harley that has paint that isn't black, it's red, but also has a pearl-flake clear coat and a similar property to the BDT; in the shade or a cloudy day, it's just red. But when the sun hits it, ShaZAMM! it lights the hell up! the Black Diamond does that.

 

Like a stripper covered in glitter.

 

BDT properly taken care of is beautiful. In the sunlight it is amazing!

 

I've owned the black diamond and the raven, the diamond is my fav. Beautiful if taken care of.

 

I was actually looking for Raven Black when I found my BDT, wasn't a fan at first, but now I'm elated. I have a buddy with a OBM wagon that we go to a lot of shows together, everyone takes pics of my paint then ogles over his wagon.

 

BDT is amazing, love that color so much bought two of them.

 

I like the black diamond over peasant black.

lol

 

Man you're crazy! Everything I have is black ( Silverado, GSXR 1000, Durango SRT) and the V shows less dirt than anything. And there definitely isn't too much flake. It gets compliments no matter where I go. It's a toy and it's usually clean but it definitely doesn't show dirt as bad as straight black.

 

I did some clay bar and ceramic on mine and it looks much better

 

The only thing I have come to regret about BDT is that touching up rock chips is virtually impossible. If any of you have a solution, let me know.

I really liked the black diamond when it was a special edition the first year, but when I bought my '14, I wanted the one of rarest colors of that year, so no blacks, silver, whites , greys or reds, so I went with plum metallic. Bought it sight unseen. I think it looks a little muddy in average light, and almost black in the dark, but I have to admit it really pops in bright sunlight, especially with the dark blue pinstripes. I tried lime pinstripes, as well as red and magenta, but they weren't right at all. Still, plum is not my favorite color of all time but at least its unique

, but at least I'm the only purple one at most car shows

 

The “glitter covered stripper” name fits well... People love to talk about them to their friends but deep inside they wish they could get in it!! 😏

 

My very first thought as well. It certainly wasn't about paint, lol.

 

Just don't rub too close!

 

Or too vigorously.

 

So... what size batteries does that "applicator" need? My lady friend wants to inquire.

 

Asking 'for a friend?'

 

Apparently, my 'batteries' are a bit weak

I have a black diamond coupe and think it’s the best black I’ve ever seen on a car so my opinion it’s very helpful then
