java black pearl! Sweetest black suby made for 1 year?! Obp had a blue/greenish tint color to it. Obp was what my wagon once was, didn't like it so much. But every time I see that jbp I wish I would have went with it, when you see the brownish tint just amazing aha.

^^^^ QFT
Last summer I was looking right up close at an 06 black STi during the BAM in direct sunlight and you could clearly see what appears to be multi-colored glitter. The JBP was 04-5 I think, and I believe that one has the gold flake, whereas the 06's had this glitter in the black.

I have OBP, it has tiny blue flakes in it if you look close. I wouldn't use any OEM subaru paint personally. Satin all the way.
