Cool C63 Matte colors

Hi everyone,

I have a black C63 AMG and I want to change the color.

I was thinking about a matte color, a dark grey per example.

I don't want to do a matte black because a guy I know did it on his car. (he also has with his brother the X5M & the GTR)

Very sexy btw!

Do you have any ideas/inputs for me about the matte colors which would suite the best a C63 AMG?

If you have pictures it would be also very helpful.

Thanks

In that C63 pic, thats awesome. I especially like the side vent. I doubt that its functional but it would be alot cooler if it was.

as for the color, im a huge fan of the matte black but i just dont have much motivation to get a project like that started. for the members that have gotten the matte black job done, how much did it cost?

That almost looks like a steel grey with one of those 3M clear wraps, which give it a satin finish. Personally i think satin is the way to go rather than matte. Here in Australia i was quoted $14k to do a matte/satin paint job

It's cost about $5k. Since it's only a wrap why not try this.

If you are asking about the steel gray C63

I don't know too much about the mods on the cars but I do see if often.


But I am still not sure which part you are asking ><"


Draw a circle on it and post it! haha

The matte grey is beautiful!

I don't want to get too flashy, that's why I was thinking about a matte dark grey, which means black rims, and black-out everything that's chromed.

I like that one!

Looks good but have in my mind that this is satin, not matte. Matte vinyl has no light reflection at all. The satin vinyl has a nice glow to it

How hard is it to clean vinyl? Can you go through the carwash? I'd hate to not be able to go to the carwash anymore.
