alright, i think i may have found a guy near me who does paint jobs pretty cheap (yes, i'm going to look deeply into his work to verify that it's quality stuff before i go and do it, i've seen the horror stories in person of 'maaco' type jobs).

what i'm trying to decide on is this:

Should I...

1. Keep the car black? I was thinking bentley black instead of the 202 onyx. But, there are a lot of black GSs, especially it seems in my area.

2. crystal white with black roof? I know it's been done a thousand times on here but there's damn near no GSs with this scheme in my area at all.

3 (and my possible favorite) Mercedes AMG silver with black roof? I don't think ive seen anyone with this type of scheme (the mil silver is a little too greenish i think to pull off the black roof), much less in my area.



All three would look awesome, which is making the decision really tough. What do you guys think? I'm already looking to buy a set of black rims so i'll be set either way (chrome/polished lip, dont worry no murder cases here)

If you like black, have you considered Java Black paint? It's a real nice finish IMO.

i havent actually, i only knew about the bentley black because supposedly it's the blackest black out there. But, again, i'm torn between staying black or doing the white/silver with the black roof.


It's worth noting that i'm super meticulous about keeping the car clean, but may not have the same amount of time to do so in the near future, being that i'm advancing along in school and on my way to beginning jobs with my degree...even now keeping the black clean is killing me, but i detail on the side so it hasn't been a problem yet. But, having white or silver would be REALLY nice in the keeping clean department (my own eyes couldn't tell the difference before and after a detail, but that's because i'd really have to look with a fluorescent light and id been staring at the car the whole time)

EDIT: just looked at the java black, really not a fan :-/ looks dirty with that brown flake in it.

I'd keep it black if it was my car. If you're looking for something a little more exotic a nice blue or red similar to SBM or black cherry would be my choices. Then again, it's not my car so it doesn't really matter what I'd do!

Black is the way to go especially if the car is already black. Just my $.02

All of your options are cool though - just do what you like.

Personally I think black is the classiest, you know the saying ""there's nothing like a clean black car". Not to mention what about your engine bay, door jams and trunk etc.... I've never been a fan of a light color repaint with a oem black engine bay.

I think black cherry is nice color or a flat black but that is a tuff color to pull off.

If you're soon getting a job that your degree's needed for, you'll have enough stress...go silver. Its soooooooo easy to keep looking clean.

Keep the factory color unless your doing a "complete" paintjob meaning stripping the car down almost bare and painting every nook and cranny from the engine bay to the trunk. .

It's quite a task to do a complete color change especially from black to white or silver.
