Reflex Charcoal

[sirtophamhat]

What exactly is reflex charcoal, as far as composition? I'm not really familiar with paint, but is it a black with loads of green flake in it, similar to BMW's carbon black? Or is it a horrifically expensive chromaflair paint as on the Mystichrome Cobras, as such:

Black, green & purple. See my profile. £2K option

Hmm, that probably means a few pints of it are going to cost an arm and a leg. Damn.

We had to have a front end respray at 6 months/2500 miles! It seems to be very soft. Had an anti stone chip additive applied at the factory when the front end was done, has done much better since.

Not really to be honest (I'm just a picky b*gger and there are some scratches in the paint from a cat that went climbing).

Mine has already been resprayed once it is life though.

I reckon mine has done about 3k miles (8.5k total) now and I'm seriously tempted to have some paint protection fitted when it has it's respray.

Don't the Sagarii come with Armorfend (sp) as standard anyway?

Hey guys, we obviously have the tasteful colour. Notice how few posts on here. Does this increase resale value?

My Tuscan is Reflex Charcoal, covered in stone chips, little scratches and one very nasty scratch on the wing. Still looks stuning after a coat of soap and water and a little polish

£500 a litre was what I was quoted. I am now waiting for someone with an insurance policy to scratch it somewhere else !

I wonder what sort of effect I would get with a black and a ton of green flake...

A very heavy greenish black car



sorry! couldn't resist that.

Love the colour myself , it doesn't always come out in photo's but there's a Tuscan in the classifieds at present that shows it off nicely IMHO.

Sometimes its black



Sometimes its green



Other times its purple



I must say that advert really does the colour justice .

Harry, thinking of changing to a Tuscan?? It's a great colour & Racing Green had a demonstrator in Reflex Charcoal about 2 mths ago, so they might still have it.

Hope to catch up with you next week at Le Mans, if I don't get to Hen & Chick on Thursday.....hope the car is better soon.

As well as being a brilliant colour it's great for confusing the BIB. We got stopped for number plate infringement and it took them ages to work out what colour to put down on their little form.

My registration documents say the car's grey!

I ve seen black, green and purple - but no grey
