It's actually a mixture of black metallic and white metallic.

FWIW, metal flakes aren't used in white paint. Just sayin...

It's called mica and it happens to be a ceramic, not metal. Also, it rarely is mixed with the white paint. Rather it is used over the white layer.

Without knowing if that is a custom paint job, no. It is impossible to tell from a picture what paint exactly is used on a car. That could be one of about 400+ dark grey metallic colors.

I know, that's why I said I'm looking for something close to it in my first post.

Just a dark metallic grey.

Oh crap, I forgot you have to press start.

Select, Start if you want it to work with two cars.

I'm not sure exactly what colors were available on the '05 LS, but I would be willing to bet a large sum of money that metal isn't used in any of them. I can't think of a single Ford white that used metal in the last 25 years or so. Going with a mica tri-coat...

Ahh, I see. There's definitely something in the paint that oxidizes orange. Much of the car's bodywork is aluminum, but I have a couple paint chips with faint rings of orange oxidation.
