1996 854---i've checked the archives and no one really addressed the actual color of the top bumper cover. i'm pretty sure it isn't straight black. is there a specific color paint for this. ipd has a metallic grey, is this it? the original color doesn't look too metallic. i'm replacing the bumper cover and i'm in need of some suggestion on this color.

thanks

The colour is what I would call Volvo's version of black. In other words, it's not jet black but dark enough to be called black. After a very short period (in first year of ownership from new) when exposed to ultraviolet rays, it soon fades to the grey colour you see on all other 850's.
