Super black vs obsidian black?

I picked up one of those Nissan paint pens to fill in a chip in my mirror when my gf drove my car and slammed the mirror into the side of my garage a few years ago :/ (yes, I"m only now getting around to fixing it, lol)

Anyways, the paint pen says 'SUPER BLACK' on it. Not Obsidian black. I pointed that out to the service guy, but he said it's the same thing. However, I do not trust him. No point arguing since he was the only 1 there, maybe check back on Monday. Anybody here know if super black is the same as obsidian black

internet research says that is true. But does super black on 350z = obsidian black on g35 ....supposedly they have the same paint code, but I still don't trust the dealership :/

Super black is a Nissan color but it is definately for the Maxima's and Altima's. Not sure if there is a difference in the color besides the name but I know the color super black was used on my old maxima. Good luck!

Super black = KH3
Obsedian Black = KH3

Your friends Z is not Super Black, it is Magnetic Black which does not = KH3


2003-2005 350Z's = KH3 or Super Black (no metallic) same as Obsedian Black

2006-2007 350Z's = Magnetic Black ( has metallic)

I know this is an old thread, but I was thinking about putting some magnetic black greddy sideskirts on my 04 obsidian black coupe. It says here that they're the same color
http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Magnetic_Black_(Color)
but I am currently under the impression that super black = obsidian black, so you guys think it would look bad on my g?
