I like Polar a lot actually. It is much brighter than Arctic White it replaced. Diamond White is not for everyone.

More pictures to come shortly. The majority of these pictures were taken by Matt from FastLane.Photography on Instagram.

The side view on the bridge is stellar JP. I can't stop looking at it lol.

I bought white, but silver with night package is the best color I have seen. They had one at my dealer, but I didn't like the equipment. They could have gotten me silver but I pressed hard for a sizeable discount instead.

sub'd for more pics

That is correct. The part is not available yet. Estimated ETA is the 28th of the month. That may change since the car is so new and there are 0 in the world at this time.

Thank you to everyone for the comments! The car does photograph very well. I plan on doing a full shoot with either Paid2Shoot or Andrew Link. Both of them did a MBPhotoPass with MBUSA. The Paprika G63 was actually shot on the boardwalk in Asbury Park, NJ. Here are some more pictures.

Really loving these shots - JP I decide to go Black... quick question for you, between the two blacks is it worth the upcharge for the obsidian?

I would take it you would be the best person to ask since you work at the dealership and a good detailer.

Does the non black vs obsidian have major difference other then the gold specs? ie.. would the obsidian hide scratches and swirls more? or is it all the same?

JPMBenz

Thank you! Awesome!! Get what YOU love. That's the name of the game. I always tell my clients that. I would personally do Obsidian Black. I like the fact of how metallic paint looks in the sun; especially when detailed properly.

Also, yes it is a HUGE advantage when it comes to hiding blemished. I had Black Sapphire on my Dad's X5. It did still show swirls but looked a lot better then regular Black. HOWEVER, nothing will ever replace the "wet" look that Black has when clean. I would try to see if dealers in your area have Obsidian vehicle (despite the car) to see. It would help your decision.

Ok I will try to see one in person before ordering - I heard from people that the gold flakes in the sunlight can make it look dusty and not sharp that is my only concern.

I also hate swirl marks, there is an upcharge also for the obsidan basically 1k after tax where i am from...

I was wondering if it is worth it, but if you are saying it hides swirls scratches and dirt better then I am all for that 1k.

Will617

I am definitely with JP on this. I've stated it before that when black is clean it looks fantastic but within hours the dust and pollen takes the wet look away. Waterspots are very tough to get rid of as are swirl marks.

Will I agree with you, I been looking at black benz lately and it does get dirty easy - this is all for non metallic paint..

im curious how much of an effect does the obsidian changes things? I know since its still black it will show dirt and swirls more then other colours, but my question would be more or less would it hide enough of it that i won't get annoyed lol, or enough dirt that i dont have to wash more then once a week and be satisfied.

I really think black looks amazing on this car, it goes so well with the lines. Silver too tbh, but I think I will reserve silver for when I am older and don't want to wash my car as often!

My wife has an Obsidian Black W204 C63 sedan. It does not show dirt or scratches nearly as much as a straight black car. My wife swears that it is the best car color she has ever seen. I'm not a fan of black cars in hot and sunny climates due to interior heating, but the AC in her car cools things off fairly quickly. It is a nice color and definitely better looking than the Sapphire Black that came on my former M4.


I'd say if you want black, then Obsidian is the best choice.

Yeah, it doesn't take much for this color to look dirty. BSM already has a "sandy sheen" to it so add a little dust and its time to wash it.........again. But when its clean -- its clean.

JPMBenz

Let me be clear...Obsidian, like any dark metallic color, will still show scratches & swirls. However, it is less visible to the eye.

Just saw that mercedesbenz insta posted a pic of your car, nice!

JPMBenz

Thank you! I communicate with them quiet often in Germany. Next up is a pic on the AMG Insta Page.

Since today is "Wheel Wednesday" I decided to replace the Silver Lug Bolts with Black Lug Bolts. Thoughts...
