Rick, Do you have the shots of my spare I sent you a few weeks ago? I can't put my finger on them.

Sorry Dennis,
I printed the picture but did not save it to a file (at least I cannot find it). However, it looked very similar to the photos above. Slight Charcoal color and no overspray through the spokes with a battleship grey back.

My personal opinion is that it's not that the factory purposely had different shades as much as there were either inconsistencies in mixing(guy mixing didn't get it quite right, or didn't care) or they changed paint vendors as GM did from time to time. I also think the black tended to bleach out in time. Mine were more charcoal than black.
