how much are you planning to spend? a good paint job that's different color from factory is going to be costly. the door jambs, underside of the hood, engine compartment, etc. will all have to be painted. unless you're ok with a hacked paint job.

Id keep it the way it is. Black is a classy color that wil never go out of style on a benz
If you choose to ignore my advice you can always
*paint it a pearl white (think Lexus) which will match your VIP look. keep the chrome wheels
*matte black would look good. but would neccesitate changing the wheel finish
*even a matte gunmetal would look good.
But you would have to paint the rims to match, maybe black chrome with the matte?
In any event if you are going to paint your benz esp a AMG paint it black silver or white. Its just the rulez!

IDK if you watch the show Orange County Choppers, but AMG had them make a bike especially for them for an AMG show. Anyways, AMG took those guys to the AMG factory to show them how they make the engines, etc., and there was a SL63 there that had sort of this Matte Silver finish. It was a new color that AMG made and it honestly was one of the best colors, if not the best color, I've ever seen on a car. Only problem is that I dont know what its called.

not stock.
I sometimes hate all the questioning that goes around here when someone asks for opinions on something .... did he ask if it was "worth" repainting his car? NO ... he asked about opinions on colors ....
I would go with the LP640 gray color ..forgot what its' called ..
also, im sure a C32 in sweden goes for more than what it goes for in the US

The new Sl63 IWC edition has an awesome matte...pearl white finish to it. Looks *really* good in person, the pictures definitely do not do it any justice.
But personally, I would keep the black (bias though because I love black!) and update the interior maybe? Your car already looks pretty good with the black and the chrome, your interior might be looking a little dated though?

And yes, a C32 is quit a lot more expensive in Sweden than for you guys in the USA....And we have crazy expensive insurance and taxes on them.
