'13 S5 Coupe
As mentioned above, saw both a C350C4 and an E350 cab with the red interior yesterday no more than 15 feet apart. Both hues looked the same. Can't trust what you see in the pictures/online/brochures, which is why I needed to make the trip as no one locally has anything with the red interior.

2012 MB C350 Coupe
I guess here in sunny Florida people have a wilder eye when it comes to interior/exterior color combos.

2012 C350 coupe; 2013 ML350
Just got this beauty on Sunday. I turned in my 2009 C350 sedan and had to get the coupe! What an amazing car. So different from the '09 sedan. I had to go with Steel Grey Metallic w/ Red Leather. My coupe has the Lighting Package, Command, Full Leather Package, Keyless-Go, and 18" 5 spoke AMG wheels. Here are the pics...enjoy!

As far as the plasti-dip glossifier goes - you can find it on Amazon (that's where I ordered it from, pretty sure they deliver to Canada). I don't know of anyone that sells it in store...
Here is the link for glossifier:
EDIT: It appears they are currently out of stock for the glossifier, I looked back and noticed that the company I bought it from on Amazon also has their own site (they still have it, and its the same discounted price of $10:

Additionally, Plasti-Dip also created tint for lens spray:
As like all Plasti-Dip products, the film it creates is easily removable from most surfaces.

I agree completely. This one has standard halogens I think. They didn't have one with HIDs and I didn't want to wait for one. I usually drive the car during the day anyway. My Audi does have HIDs and they're great whenever I get to use them. It really lights up the road.

2012 MB C350 Coupe
sure.. I just think halogen lights are cheap and the MB are not cheap cars. they have that amazing interior and then a cheap headlight. it just doesnt match the quality and luxury of the car. Some people dont bother and as you said, you only drive it during the day, so it makes no difference to you. But it still makes no sense to me.

I agree with not seeing much with the halogens. I took the adaptive xenon HIDs on my A4 for granted, now I do think they are quite useful, safety wise.

I think regular lights are fine for funtion... but I went for upgraded lights simply because they look cooler when you're looking at the car! LOL
finally some sun, now I just need to stop taking pics using a phone

Beautiful car! I like that color. Steel gray, right? The dealer I went to just didn't have it, but I'm pretty happy with the arctic white. I just have to clean it more often. Gray just doesn't show the dirt easily.

It is palladium silver. Easy to keep looking clean
steel gray = tenorite gray = much darker with a hint of blue

Agree with the Xenon looking cool. nice painting! i didnt know a lease car could be painted, or yours is not leased?! I plastidip mine looks just like yours but not as glossy.. this is how the car should have came from factory. nice car! i like those wheels as well.. next thing I will do is to black out my wheels. leaving just the star and outer ring polished. we see how it will look..

Wow. paint matched markers look great. I think thats next to do.
Finally got pics of the tint i did.
I went 5% all around and 50% for the windshield. Enjoy!
Going to address the wheels soon. Thinking some black series style wheels.

Did you paint rear too or just the front?

I haven't taken any good pics of my coupe, but here are a couple iPhone snaps:
I had the bodyshop fill in the holes from the front plate (that were put on in Germany) and paint the sidemarkers.
