colour choice help
Hi guys, i am getting my C63 in about 7 months and am coming down to the deadline for colour choice. I have an obsidian black ML63 wih cashmere beige interior which is phenomenal looking but very hard to keep clean, certainly is a headturner when leaving the car detailer though
For my C63 i have currently chosen tenorite grey with black interior but just cant decide whether to go obsidian black again. The machine i test drove was black and looked freaking insane but is had a whitish interior! awful! What do you guys suggest, tenorite grey (i think its steel grey in teh US) or obsidian black exterior - back or beige interior. Anyone have a photo of both colours side by side - by any miraculously remote chance?

I went with piano black too - the car looks simple stunning with it.
As you well know, black is the biggest pain to keep clean. My parking garage is incredibly dusty (the apartments are newly constructed), after a few hours in there it is coated in dust. So, I've got an indoor car cover on order now, and I've also invested in 6 swiffer dusters to keep the dust off the car until it arrives.
All worth it for having a mean looking car in the meanest colour!

No more black cars for me. Dust, scratches, swirls, etc.
Although the grey is almost as bad as black, so you might as well go black if you really want it.
Red, silver, and white are probably the easier ones to keep clean.

Black looks great when new. But in a few months, you'll get swirls. I will never buy black because those little imperfections will haunt me for the life of ownership. Even if you never let a living soul touch your car, you ll have to be borderline **** with every car wash. And I don't care what anyone says, buffing and polishing are only a temporary fix...
I bought white on black... and boy does it look sharp... give it a light microfiber wipe down and it sings...
but grey/silver has the best of both worlds... my porsche is GT silver and you don't see swirls and you won't notice much dirt...

Its just Plain Black.... BTW you may see some forum members posting there black color cars but you must see it in person... I've said it before and the black is a hard color to display on a low resolution monitor ie; laptop ect... thats why you will see more light color cars shown on a selling paltform...
