Default Need opinion on color choice

I really like this color scheme from Brabus and I want to do this on my sc. What do you all think?

Satin black? Whatever makes you happy, but I would rather stand apart from the crowd.

I think all the black hides the details.

I haven't seen it on an SC yet, but it's the new fad. I've seen several cars locally with the same paint.

Edit: The satin look works on the benz above as it's fairly aggressive. I don't see it working well on the smooth lines of the SC.

How much does a Satin black paint job usually go for?

i like it! i also thought about doing a satin black paint job....but if you do it i think it will look better if you paint your rims all black too.... no more polished lip. imo

I think it would look ok on an SC but IMO, I think flat black looks better on cars that have hard edges. The SC in contrast has sloping curves with a sleek design and would be much more flattering with a nice lustrous finish!

Just my 2cents
