Default "Star Black" on hold?

I read a post about the new black being on hold for 2003 because of inconsistances of the paint but I can't find a press release on this. Is this true & if so will GM go back to Onyx black??????

As I understand the metallic black has been removed, and it's back to plain old black. I never really heard why, but my guess is that it was too hard to shoot.

The star black is history, made the car look dirty.
