IT DOES have a very light amount of metal flake !! I was at SEMA and talk tot he FORD rep and he confirmed it...BUT I have to tell you the Shadow Black is so beautiful in person a camera can NOT capture the beauty of this color on this car, the color has a creamy black look hard to describe !!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU will not be disappointed and in fact the blue stripe might be the way to go ....Just do it !!!

I agree 100%, but I might be biased. LOL

I agree also. The blue stripes on shadow black is sharp.

As others have said, it does have a small amount of blue and I think even some purple metallic flake. I only notice it in direct sunlight. Not only is there not much flake in the paint, the particle size also seems smaller.

If you have a pic or two you could send me to see it, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you

I have several pics in my profile gallery. Mine has no stripes though.

I don't know if it's the same black, but the roof of my Race Red with a black roof has some metallic in it when looking in direct sunlight.

I like the sound of this much better. I have the "tuxedo black" on my F150 and that would be too much. When ordering I looked at a black CS GT and didn't see the metallic but I don't think it was a sunny day either. Still tossing the idea of the blue stripes but can't find a good pic of one to compare. Plus only if it wouldn't put more delay on my order.

The other day I was looking at the tread for ShadowBlack owners and seen a post of a guy saying it had a real light metallic to it? Yes or no? I ordered mine after seening a CS GT in what I "thought" was ShadowBlack and it was solid no metallic. So to anyone that owns one? I asked the question on the thread a couple of days ago and no response. So I thought I'd find a bigger audience. Thanks

I just looked at my Shadow Black 2015 GT350 in the garage and if it has any Metallic to it I cannot see it but I am getting pretty old and my eyes are not so good anymore. I plan to get it out and wash it in the next day or two now that most of the pine pollen is pretty much gone and I will take a good look in the direct sun light.

My paint code is "G1" and it is my understanding that only DIB and Magnetic came with Metallic paint but could be wrong.

Unless something changes drastically after I get my car in the direct sun I suggest that Shadow Black is a solid color with no Metallic.

When I originally ordered this car I did not order any stripes but was able to open up the order banks again and added Blue stripes at the last minute and am very happy that I did as the car looks fantastic in Shadow Black with Blue stripes in my humble opinion.

In addition to this great color combination that I really like it was the only 2015 Track Pack car ordered in that color combination so how lucky was that!

I have shadow black and even on a sunny day with a clean car I have never noticed any metallic or hue to the black. all I see is black.

It's really subtle. I didn't notice until the car was super clean and sunny out.
It only shows at certain angles too.

This thread forced me out into my garage to look at my car. It rained a lot today, so I couldn't see anything on the outside of the car, but I opened up the door and looked at the door jamb and there's definitely small blue flakes in my paint.

Not sure if there is a difference or not, but I have a 2015 that is "Black" paint code UA and it does appear to have a little metallic. When I bought it, the dealer said the new "Shadow Black" paint code G1 for 2016 would not have the metallic. However, many (but not all) parts and touch up paint suppliers list both colors as interchangeable.

Who knows, maybe I am seeing metallic that isn't there because the dealer suggested it was there...I haven't actually compared side by side with a 2016, so I can't comment if there really is a difference or not.

Either way, not sure why Ford would change the name and paint code if nothing was different other than the plain old name of "Black" just wasn't sexy enough - or - they wanted people to trade their now dated Black 2015's to the new Shadow Black 2016's!

I have 2015 Black code UA....it is Black!! No metallic whatsoever!! ???????:shrug:

the dark blue and charcoal metallic in the paint give it a Pearl shadowing when sun light reflects off the curved surfaces thus Shadow Black. It has a very light effect.
