ShadowBlack owners

[jwhite]

The other day I was looking at the tread for ShadowBlack owners and seen a post of a guy saying it had a real light metallic to it? Yes or no? I ordered mine after seening a CS GT in what I "thought" was ShadowBlack and it was solid no metallic. So to anyone that owns one? I asked the question on the thread a couple of days ago and no response. So I thought I'd find a bigger audience. Thanks

I don't have mine yet, but the one I looked at in person did have a very, very light "blue" fleck/metallic in it.

Not sure if there is a difference or not, but I have a 2015 that is "Black" paint code UA and it does appear to have a little metallic. When I bought it, the dealer said the new "Shadow Black" paint code G1 for 2016 would not have the metallic. However, many (but not all) parts and touch up paint suppliers list both colors as interchangeable.

Who knows, maybe I am seeing metallic that isn't there because the dealer suggested it was there...I haven't actually compared side by side with a 2016, so I can't comment if there really is a difference or not.

Either way, not sure why Ford would change the name and paint code if nothing was different other than the plain old name of "Black" just wasn't sexy enough - or - they wanted people to trade their now dated Black 2015's to the new Shadow Black 2016's!

That might change my mind if i want the blue strip, I went no stripes. You?
I think my build date is 5/16, I don't want hold my order up in changing though!

The one I looked at in person belongs to friend of mine. It is a black tech package with no stripes. You have to be right on it to see the blue flecks.
My R is ordered Shadow Black with the blue stripes.

And sorry guys, I didn't mean to jump in on a GT350 thread. I was just viewing new posts and saw Shadow Black as the subject.

Though I did come very close to putting DIB stripes on my cheapo GT as I think they look awesome on the black!

Mine has the absolute tiniest hint of blue. Again takes perfect lighting to see it

I like the input from ya, I'm driving a GT now also. Just waiting my 350 to be built.

Mine has blue metallic. It is only visible in direct sun. I have plenty of pics in my gallery. I almost went with blue stripes but chickened out. I do not like the white border on a lot of the stripe combos so blue would've been my only choice. With all the pollen mine is yellow right now!

If you have a pic or two you could send me to see it, I'd really appreciate it.

IT DOES have a very light amount of metal flake !! I was at SEMA and talk tot he FORD rep and he confirmed it...BUT I have to tell you the Shadow Black is so beautiful in person a camera can NOT capture the beauty of this color on this car, the color has a creamy black look hard to describe !!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU will not be disappointed and in fact the blue stripe might be the way to go ....Just do it !!!
