Factory paint? Available in the US? Looks sweet.

What, black? ;-)

Just kiddin! it looks similar to what I'd like to repaint my current black one to... I think it's similar to what audi calls volcanic black? It was something similar to that... looked black, but up close you could see dark, dark grey, fine speckle of sorts...

Yes, graphite metalic, my stock '86 is that color. Most peolple say "your black car" but it's deceiving.

I think all the different variations of grey/silver are the best colors for a 951 - my favorite is diamod blue metalic available in 1987 though I've only ever seen one example that was pretty beat.

Hey! My car!! Except that's the PO driving it, picture was taken last summer

It's Graphite metallic, like stated already. I believe the code is L B7V, and it was available in '85 and '86 models.
