Hmmm...the paint code on my 2011 Tuxedo Black Raptor says "UA", which indicates a paint color of "Ebony Black". What's up with that? I remember a paint shortage involving Japan back around purchase time but since I was under the cut-off time and I received no notice of a change, I assumed I was getting "Tuxedo Black". All of my paper work reflects "Tuxedo Black".

Now I feel like I'm left out of the Tuxedo Black Club. Are there any Ebony brothers in here?

Yes i now very well about the Japan deal. My Wife has a 2010 Buick Lacross, red jewell tint color. Which at the time Dupont was getting one of the main pigment components from Japan before the big wave hit. But I think if your truck has any metalic color in it and you would k
now, it's Tuxedo Black.

FYI - Inside info on paint: PPG is trying to aquire Tuxedo Black color

Yeah, that's just it -- mine doesn't seem to have any metallic flakes in the paint. It looks like a plain old black color.
