Man, I really have to check out Tuxedo Black on a car/truck at a Ford Dealership.

I don't care for it based on this picture.

I never knew metallics were so polarizing... I love tuxedo black. I think it's a gorgeous color up close and it really shines in the sun.

The regular focus also comes in tuxedo black so you can go look at it at a dealership. I thought it looked too much like a bowling ball when I looked at it. Where did you get the picture? Its a nice close up. I would like to see a similar close up of TS.

I just googled "Ford Tuxedo Black." Then you can click on images up top or in the listing.

I had a Tuxedo Black SE. The color shifts from black to a shiny silver/greyish black depending on the angle. I had a pure black Audi which was nice but I find the Tuxedo black to be visually more interesting.

I have similar flakes in my current black car (Labrador black X42) and its a nice look. It certainly doesn't take away from anything

My wife has a Fusion Hybrid in Tuxedo black. Its a gorgeous color when clean. But like most blacks, metallic or not, its impossible to keep clean. Looks great in direct sunlight and actually hides scratches fairly well due to so much flake in paint. In just too OCD about my rides to have a black car. Pain in the ass enough just keeping up with hers. Lol

Hmmm... yeah maybe I shouldn't consider any kind of black. Damn I wish we had the orange tangerine scream.

^^^^^x1000%. Id be all over it if it were like the original show car.

I ordered Tux black on my ST but hate it! I must have a black car so I hope it will grow on me!

 

[jackamick]

Um, why does it need to be black?

So It will match my other cars. I just love black for sporty cars, makes them look more mean!

YEP! Its kinda like being the little guy that sits at the bar with the weird gleam in his eye and nobody bugs him.

It will grow on you, until it gets dirty. Then you hate it. Then after you wash the car you'll be happy again. Definitely a love-hate relationship. I have a tuxedo black Focus and it's this way. I'd recommend a clear bra like 3M or something similar. The paint chips easily, at least on mine it does.

Ok thanks for the heads up!

Just washed and waxed mine today. From far away it looks like a traditional black. But when it's sunny and you're up close you can really see the metallic.

Wow, that's really reflective. Post more, please! A few shots of the whole car from different angles would be great :thumb:

 

[JMD]

Sure thing.

 

[Rev.Hammer]

Oh yeah!! Tuxblack is SO the way to go!!

 

[SkewedView]

Sure thing.

Excellent, thanks! My decision to go with TB still stands
