Which color looks the BEST on a C43/36??
I know everybody has different tastes and thats what makes it better.
If you had the money or wanted to change colors on your C43 which color would you go for and why?
I want to repaint mine hopefully this summer and would love to hear your opinion. Currently my C43 is white but is in need of a paint job.
Thanks for your input.

I'm a big fan of the dark gray colors that are popular currently. I think a dark blue metallic might look good on a W202 as well. Something that is subtle and classy.

Black is gorgeous, not because I own one, I was just lucky that was on the dealer's parking lot.
It doesn't show dirt and dings like white ones. Gray and other colors are nice but too ordinary. Black makes it little more elegant, cause you see most European, and other presidents have black Mercedes rides.
That was my 2 cents.

I think keeping it the same color would make the paint work much easier and probably less expensive. I'm no expert but if they could match the white very close(I heard metallic whites are tricky) it would seem like much less work in terms of painting inside door jams and those funny hidden areas. If you change the color you simply must have all these hidden areas and jams painted so the car looks normal and not resprayed.
If you do chose to change the color my current favorite is an Audi paint called battleship grey I believe. A flat dark grey without a hint of mettallic and a simple clear over it. Looks awesome. Good luck. I'm having my entire nose repainted this spring and done right its more work than I would have thought....thats keeping it the same color.
