1989 Civic Si Color question

[cogit8r]

Greetings;
Dave here, a noob from Memphis. I owned and loved a 1989 Civic Si which was black with a very fine red metalflake deep in the paint. I am in the midst of a total restoration of my wife.s 1974 Karmann Ghia convert and am thinking about having the car painted with that same color.

Question: Does anyone know what the name or code of that black/red flake color was? I've searched the forum, but couldn't find a color name which seem to describe the OEM color of my Si.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Dave

Thank you! I was tripped up by "Flint" and was looking for something that sounded like the flakes might be red. Thanks again,
Dave

No problem. It's not a color that I'm familiar with but searching around I did see other people mention it having red flakes.
