    It's just Black. I believe that there is no such thing as pure black - some have got fairly close, but gloss black won't be anything like pure black.

    I believe they call it "Piano Black" because it's shiny.

    It also sparkles when the sun is on it so it must have some kind of flake in it too.

    You'll have to colour match it - there are so many blacks available. A good paint shop should be able to help, or a spray painter. Some of the best spray painters are involved with Hot Rod conversions if you don't get satisfaction elsewhere.
