Well need to spray the car.
Found the paint code, and here it is
298/83L: Midnight Black Mica (99-)
So will please someone explain a little this name of the paint. From what I know there are two types of paint regular and metallic paint and this word Mica is a bit confusing.
Is this regular, metallic paint or something else maybe...?

That would be Pearlescent, instead of Aluminium flakes like Metallic, Pearlescent has teardrop shaped pieces of MICA in it. :y
-
does that mean a bit more expensive than regular pain or...?
-
Sorry mate, I have no idea of prices. I am sure someone on here will have bought this lately. ::)
-
Ok thanks
-
yes mate it does work out a bit more expensive if you are getting paint mixed for spray gun use, if its spray cans then you will need basecoat & clearcoat :y

I was going to give the car to the shop to have it resprayed and the guy asked me is it a metallic paint on the car?I had no idea and said probably yes
