My engine bay and inner fenders were done that way. Brick red candy over black. I put a trace of silver blue pearl in the clear coat that went over it and it is sweet.

The Eagle BC paint code appears to be the same as the Chrysler color of the same year - FM9


Chris, that sounds like a very labor-intensive way of getting a paint color that's available as a normal mix.

I am possitive it was the Black current on 98-99 Honda Accord. I wanted to buy the car but VIN # was for a T-top not a vert.

Black Currant (from what I've seen) is more of a purple color. Very nice, but that vert looks like Black Cherry (more red).
