    The Toyota website lists all the colors, and all but black have the word "metallic" in them, implying they are a metallic paint job. The black is just listed as black. So I think it is just a nice, shiny black.

    Nice, shiny black for a few weeks. Then it's nice, swirled, scratched black. Very dissapointing. Avoid the black Prius if you can.

    Thanks for reply I took a look today it is a solid black, which is what I like. My current black car is over 3 years old and it still look show room shiny but then again it has never seen an automatic wash, its garage kept and washed weekly. Thanks for the help.

    Black Sand Pearl is a "metallic" black. The black offered on the Prius is a solid colour.
