Hi everyone,

I have a black C63 AMG and I want to change the color.

I was thinking about a matte color, a dark grey per example.

I don't want to do a matte black because a guy I know did it on his car. (he also has with his brother the X5M & the GTR)

Very sexy btw!

Do you have any ideas/inputs for me about the matte colors which would suite the best a C63 AMG?

If you have pictures it would be also very helpful.

Thanks

In that C63 pic, thats awesome. I especially like the side vent. I doubt that its functional but it would be alot cooler if it was.

as for the color, im a huge fan of the matte black but i just dont have much motivation to get a project like that started. for the members that have gotten the matte black job done, how much did it cost?

Matte Gray C63

Love em both, but that matte grey is gorgeous. Almost like semi-gloss.

JM

What the gray one is really a Steel Gray C63

and with a matte CLEAR over it

That almost looks like a steel grey with one of those 3M clear wraps, which give it a satin finish. Personally i think satin is the way to go rather than matte. Here in Australia i was quoted $14k to do a matte/satin paint job

JM

haha you got it

It looks great! Still wish I got Steel Grey.

Oh snap Jeffield!

I just noticed those side vents, love that, cant believe we have never seen those before on this forum, anymore info on them??

DuaneC63

It's cost about $5k. Since it's only a wrap why not try this.

JM

It's my friends car haha local

Maverick1975

Do you have any more pics of the side vents, i would be interested in those. who made them how much etc etc??

JM

sorry which ones?

Done!

Im guessing they are custom fenders?

JM

If you are asking about the steel gray C63

I don't know too much about the mods on the cars but I do see if often.


But I am still not sure which part you are asking ><"


Draw a circle on it and post it! haha

DuaneC63

Holy copy cats Batman. Somebody already did one in orange

obsidian05e55

Yeah. The Ornage one has been done for some time now.. Its in Japan i believe.

JM

I think the orange one is actually in China / Taiwan

Don't quote me on it tho

The matte grey is beautiful!

I don't want to get too flashy, that's why I was thinking about a matte dark grey, which means black rims, and black-out everything that's chromed.

I like that one!

I was quoted $3500 for a full wrap in Denver using 3M vinyl (6 year warranty)

Looks good but have in my mind that this is satin, not matte. Matte vinyl has no light reflection at all. The satin vinyl has a nice glow to it

Check out the C63 in the link in the first post. It has vents in the fender behind the front wheels. I think that is what Maverick1975 is referring to.

How hard is it to clean vinyl? Can you go through the carwash? I'd hate to not be able to go to the carwash anymore.

Maverick1975

You got it Mort, thanks. I emailed the guys who made it in Switzerland for the details but yet to get a reply. Will post deets if i get them and anyone is interested
