Does this car have metallic obsidian black or solid black paint? It's so damn shiny. This has to be a solid jet black right?

My guess is 040 black. The non metallic. It's just waxed well and under the fluorescent lights.

Just run it through a vin decoder like epc-net or one of those Russian sites. Comes up as standard black paint, the 040U.

Seems nicely loaded otherwise, parktronic, P2, real leather, folding rear seats, side blinds, voice control, pano roof, and trunk closer. Don't think it has distronic though.

That's what I thought. Solid black is way nicer than metallic. It's softer and harder to maintain but when polished and detailed well, MY GOD DOES IT SHINE!! It just looks like a mirror! Obsidian isn't a true black. Still nice though.
