I was wondering if the C class white is pearl white or Pure white Like Audis etc.

The C class white inside the dealership looks like a pearlish white, can owners of white c class comment on it

Thanks

The white on C classes is just plain flat white with no pearl or sparkle flake. MB does offer Diamond White, but only on the CLS. There is also a designo special order color called Mystic White, but is only offered on SL, S, and CL models.

Leave it to the man with more than half of his stable as white to let us know. Let me guess, the GL550 is white too?

I don't think they are doing that anymore in the states. This user is trying to get an ML built (they are built in Alabama) in a European color and they won't do it.

Also might add that right now MB isn't doing special orders on C classes. I tried to get wood trim in my C300 Sport, gave them the option number and everything and it was refused by MB.

special order paint depends on where your car is built. not all plants can do designo.
east london, vance, and bremen can not do special order paint.
