Im trying to pin point exact paint code for black VE SS Pontiac G8. HSV had two colours from JHP site, phantom mica 690F and KO25 , my understanding the Pontiac VE SS was 690F? With regards to the colours , what are the differences in the black, is one more with green pearl and other more metallic..
cheers

What does the paint code on your ID plate say? Just had a quick Google and K025 appears to be Phantom Black from previous model Commodores and other models eg Cruze. I'd be very surprised if Holden used anything other than the normal Phantom Black on other VEs. Maybe K025 is the code they used in America???

690F is the code in America, on my car its 690F however is K025 the same shade as 690F? Im curious as the black on Pontiac G8 looks a more jet type black than on my HSV however its apparently the same colour.

They're both Phantom. Probably just different lighting making them appear different

There both the same thing, when i was trying to source paint for my vx the guy said both codes are identical just different names.

That's what I thought HSV F690 and K025 For Holden SS, im going to get a shop run this fancy paint code machine over the paint, to see what that comes out with, as could be a custom paint job as in the sun the paint colour is a more jet black look over the more green pearl black on the HSV . Or mybe could be colour fade ect
