If it looks brown in sunlight then it is Basalt.

If it looks grey in sunlight then it is Metallic Black.

If I am correct, and I might not be, I think all Basalt colors are metallic.

Edit: just looked at your pics and it does not look Basalt. I think it's called Carbon Black Mettalic or something like that.

Look for paint code and name inside front trunk

If in doubt Eric (Plug Guy) can help with paint code #'s.

Ag Surfer is infamous around these parts
