If you could repaint your AMG

Guys Im starting to search for c55's and researching them thoroughly, I just wanted some opinions on colors. My c32 was silver and I do love the color although it is entirely too common these days. I love black but its a ***** to keep clean but thats what I am leaning towards. Perhaps if you guys posted some pics of your color combos It would be very helpful. I think white is pretty nice too but I think it may become old like the silver look. And as far as the interior i would love some nice res shots if anyone has them. I love the poplar wood color but i got a thing for shiny metals as well. So many decisions and I can't make any of them.

Any options you would have added? Or regret Adding? Pour your hearts out fellas, Im going to join the club soon.

2004 Capri Blue C32
When I ordered my C32, I asked if they could make it Tectite Gray, but they couldn't. They had an E320 in the showroom that was Tectite, and the color looked incredible. Since I couldn't get it, I chose Capri Blue. I don't think I'd change it even if I could. It looks black at night, blue during cloudy days, and purplish in direct sunlight.

how about yellow? It's a "don't mess with me" color: the guy on the discovery channel says that in the jungle, the animals would stay away from creatures that are yellow such as frogs and snakes because they are extremely poisonous

Good choice That's exactly what I would have recommended. I would get the poplar wood trim to go with it.

graphite grey is still metallic, but less common than the silver

Poplar wood trim is gorgeous but Its not easy to find on a used c55. I really don't feel like spending 60k on a c55 since i spent 64 on my c32 and its now worth almost exactly half that. I just need the c55 for a year until i can justify spending on cls55,ineed to buy a few more houses first.

My 2002 C32 is Techtite gray. The person I bought it from said it was an option from the factory, is this true? I am thinking about selling my car and wondered if I should add extra for having this color as an option? LMK
