If it's a touch up - only their touch up is a quality touch up. Others are too thin. Get theirs - you'll be glad you did. They don't publish the PPG codes and black is definitely NOT black.

There are so many blacks it's not funny. (That doesn't sound right?) Some have a little blue. Some a little grey. Some a little... Very few vehicles are 100%, zero color black.

"Smart Car Black" is one of the darkest blacks I've ever seen. No joke

I bought the touch up kit from HD for vivid black to touch up a saddle bag. Cant see where done after rubbing out with compound. Vivid black is not a constant off the shelf black

For 1975 GM code 27 white there are 17 different variances of that (1) color. [I painted cars for 38 years]

Just had a fender painted vivid black; my painter said he didn't have to reduce it as much as he usually does for a black.

Also did a mysterious sunglow fender and it needed 7 layers of pearl to match the factory hue.

Harley paint is on the laborious side of things.

Axalta code 99 matches vivid black perfectly. If you 're using PPG the strong black toner DMD1683 is vivid black, just need to have the base binder added to make it "base coat".
