2008 Honda Accord Nighthawk Black Pearl, 9 Pictures

**jwinders** · 03-11-2008, 11:42 PM

Here are some pictures of my new car. This is a very interesting color, because it is black with blue metallic flakes, which you can see in one of the close-ups. I don`t have any before pictures, but this car did have some swirls and scratches from the dealership, although they buffed out easily. I hand waxed this one, and only used one coat of Meguiar`s NXT 2.0, but I feel like I got some really good results from it. See for yourself, and let me know what you think.

Nice color on the Accord, great shine too.

I think that`s the best color honda ever put out. My 1996 Accord is the same color. Love it.

My buddys TSX is the same color.

I would have some pics of it now, but it`s in winter storage. It need a good cleaning this coming spring. Which I plan on doing. I love Winter and Snow, but I miss driving my Xtra Clean Honda in the summer.:2thumbs:

Looks great. Really an interesting color. I polished a NBP MDX and it was really cool how it changed from black to blueish depending on the angle. I like it.

That looks really good. What did you use for the tires?

That`s a nice shine to your car. I have the Odyssey minivan and it has dark blue pearl paint which I love. But the thing is, Honda and Acura always seem to have horrible orange peel, I wonder why that is. I wish I could remove my orange peel, but I`m too chicken to remove that much clear.

\r\n\r\nGood Job!!:2thumbs: \r\nMy 2003 Accord has the same paint. The blue flakes really \"pop\" when you keep it detailed. I just wish Honda used Ceramiclear or some other harder CC (this paint unfortunately is susceptible to chipping:bawling: ).`

I love the 5th pic from the top!

Congrats. I don`t know why, but I think this model looks like a Lexus. I like it!:p

I never thought I would say this about an accord, but thats a pretty hot looking car! They really did a good job with the new design. And the detail is just about flawless, great job!! I`m sure the flake looks great in person.

Nice car - you did a great job with the shine. I also love the new design.

Orange peel on hondas? We`re on our 6th Honda/acura and I think most have had orange peel. Oh well...
