Hi all - I'm new from Chicago and really dig this forum.

I bought my 2006 xB in July (from Elmhurst, IL), and love everything about it. I've recently started minor mods including under-seat/dash, cupholder, and vent led lighting, cabin air filter, led dome lights, sirius radio, dash pads, arm rest, cargo storage and net, etc.

I'm now getting into it enough to do the rim/wheel thing, as well as bumper and spoiler. In order to that, I obviously need to know my official color. My question is is this:

Is my box Flint Mica, as the sticker, invoice, and paperwork all state? It certainly looks like it. Does a 2006 Flint Mica exist? I've searched the forums and find many references, but the official color charts won't confirm that year with that color. One post actually refers to it as 'the elusive flint mica xB...' I see Shadow Mica mentioned - is there a difference? I'm so confused.

Does anyone have a definitive answer? Any help is appreciated.

thanks guys -

Urban H

 

Are you referring to Shadow Mica, color code 1F4?

Look on that black sticker on your drivers' door sill. It lists the color code. I am looking for a picture of it.

 

Bam! Question answered - I just checked the sticker: 1F4.

Thanks a million, Max!

 

I don't think I have ever seen one this color in person... weird

 

im sure you have, it looks black unless direct light hits it or its sunny out. and when the sun hits it its almost camo lookin.... pretty sweeet color i think. but im biast also

 

It's pretty much the best color. It's got a mean color shift to it.
I just cleaned all of the road salt off of it and immediately fell in love with this color all over again.

In the right light, it looks two toned... Grey, Black, Green... and the flake in the paint is nuts!
