Question Door handle different colors
Is it only my car or do all the non-metallic black cars have Obsidian (metallic) Black door handles?

I tried to take a picture but it didn't turn out that great:

All black MBs are like that. The metalic paint helps hide scratches. Has been discussed dozens of times

Sadly, they discontinued Obsidian Black Metallic on the 2012 C Class Coupes & Sedans here in the States.... I really dislike the replacement, Magnetite Black Metallic for $750.... it's too dark gray charcoal in tone IMO... not the same at all.

Obsidian Black Metallic is now a $1000 special order paint.
