(Velvet Black : Studebaker : 1941 - 1942)
This black automotive paint color is most commonly known as Velvet Black. Another common paint color promotional name is Black. The color formulation has been used between 1941 and 1942, primarily by Studebaker. See the full detailed list below.

The Ford manufacturing code of this paint is M1724A, M30J1724, M6124A, M6018A, M1724, M1724X, M6018, 14024, and 14124. Ford paint manufacturing codes starting with M are paints offered on standard models where the last 4 digits are unique. The GM manufacturing code of this paint is WA5118, WA0848, WA8555, WE5118, WE5103, WAEM5118, W83E5118, and WAEA5118. GM codes starting with WE are primarily special order paints. The Chrysler manufacturing code of this paint is DT4004. It is not uncommon for the same paint to be used by more than one manufacturer. Popular paints offered by one could be special ordered by others. Also, the paint on imported cars were commonly shared.

Early dupont codes have a prefix followed by a dash and a 3, 4 or 5 digit number. Common prefixes are 244, 246-, 93-, 202-, and 210. For this report on Dupont code 225-2113, we have included variations with the prefix removed. The remaining digits are a good way to track paint usage between years.

Be careful with Dupont 4 digit codes (i.e. 2113 or 02113 or 246-2113) before 1946. There may have been some reuse in later years.
