I snapped this pic a couple years ago in Monroe, WA at Formula Drift and have since been narrowing down the colors I want to paint my RHD s14 project.. However, I have been arguing with myself about if this r32 is KH2 (Gun Grey Metallic) or 732 (Black Pearl Metallic).. Anyone know for certain what color this is?

I've combed through google images and forums for literally hours, still go back and forth.. My gut says Black Pearl Metallic, but I keep second guessing :facepalm:

Gun Grey Metallic (according to some aussie on a forum from down-under lol):

Black Pearl Metallic (some Canadian owns this car and posted pics on a forum with the title "My '89 Black Pearl Metallic Nissan Skyline"):

I googled KH2 and this is what I found

So yes, it's KH2

I've looked at the pictures in that thread before.. This is where it becomes a headache because the 1st picture on this thread (the one in question) has the sun positioned smack dab on the front of the fender which catches the metallic flakes and make them pop like crazy.. However, the rest of the car is much darker even though which is what makes me lean to Black Pearl Metallic

Gun Grey Metallic (gtr.co.uk forum picture request for gun grey metallic):

I first thought KH2.. Then started digging into 732 out of curiosity and tripped upon these direct sunlight pics of this guys car (one pic is already posted above).. Look how when you go out from the center of the sun reflection it starts getting grayish
