And today we took the front nose outside in the full sun to see the finished product in the black walnut, and I can, without a doubt, this is the color it will stay!! Every single nay sayer at his shop literally stood there and said it was the most F*#%*ng awesome color they have ever seen. And the pictures just don't show how deep it is.
I'm also using the stainless grill instead of the black one. This color wants a bit of bling.

philhef,
When you finally made the decision to go with the metallic black rather than the dark walnut, I was disappointed (for you). I just didn't think the black was very rich or warm, non metallic blacks are great but not the glitter metallic ones. The deep brown colors like the one we previously discussed on the Porsche or the Enclave are captivating and stand out because of their warmth, beauty, and rarity. Great choice, hope you're happy about your decision (for at least a month or two). Can't wait to see the whole package.

And you're right. This is a rare color indeed. I took the sample to our porsche dealer and the dark brown metallic looks gold beside mine!! Even the dealer said a Porsche would be stunning in this color but they don't have one this dark!!

I researched it and it seems its a 2004 Chrysler color. Not used long since it wasn't very popular. I guess because it was before the browns became popular. It's a stunning color but on a Chrysler mini van, probably not so much!! Lol
