Default Different black paint each year..

I have the black that came on the 2006 IS350, but the black is called something different on the 2007 models, does that mean if i bought a front lip or something it of an 07' it wouldnt match??

Don't worry about names, just match the paint code.

the 07 black is suppose to be the "blackest black" that has ever been founded...

it is hard to mix 100 percent of black paint
instead of 95 percent black the black obsidian is 97% or something like that... you won't be able to see a difference...
