I tried the search function with "trunk" as the key, searching subject line only

Result:

Tiefdunkelgrau code 7164

It is a dark gray, that looks black, especially when there is no comparison

(info above from the string found from the search)

Hello George,

Well, there has been some discussion in the past whether or not "all" pagodas had tiefdunkelgrau-painted trunks  and softtop compartments or not.
There are several pre-1968 survivors (inluding my own 1964 230 - at least regarding this aspect) who did not come with a tiefdunkelgrau trunk but with a real (semi-gloss) black trunk. Clearly black not deep dark grey! 
This changed at a certain manufacturing date but I don't know exactly when.

Sadly most pagoda owners today "believe" those cars were "always deep dark grey iinside the trunk" and destroy the original condition during the "new paint process".
