OMG. If you repaint it with Designo graphite... no offense, but I'll hate you. I full heartedly believe that is the sexiest color I've ever seen by Mercedes-Benz! Rock on! ...and I want picts!!!!!

The Designo offerings (paint and interior) are not available on the C class, but thats not to say you can't take a car to a paint shop and have it repainted as you have eluded to. Mystic White has always been a favorite of mine, shame that package used to run $6 grand on the S class, not sure what the prices are now.

Mystic White is 048

Heres a website, but they don't seem to list Graphite (Grey) I assume it was grey you were speaking of and not Graphite Green which is listed.

IMO, what would be even more impressive than Graphite paint, would be to have the interior redone to match the designo Graphite color scheme from other models...make everything leather too, I don't like the plastic on the new models.

I have not seen a designo graphite interior in person, although I like the paint. The leather looks to be just a darker gray than the normal ash interior, although some people say it is green...

I personally like the Espresso package, the Graphite package does not look much different from the regular interior and exterior packages, so the price premium seems to be somewhat unwarranted, especially on the E63 AMG where you already have napa leather and alcantara headliner.

Just to compare colors and interiors, here is another W211 AMG with the Designo Espresso package.

This one is a bit older, so no interior and exterior updates, but the colors are the same:
