Special Color?

Hey everyone,
I've seen a couple of amazing C63s on this forum my only question is regarding the color. What other colors does Mercedes offer other than the designo?

Any info about this color?

Or

Thanks in advance!

There is a member on here with a blue perf studio CBS who can likely shed some light on pricing. It is not cheap as you would imagine.

I'm sure it isn't but just curious on the price range and whether I can order it from the US.

Just the paint job.

If you go to AMG's website and go to the Performance Studio section they list out prices for interior work for different lines of cars.

For $17k, you could wrap that car 5-6 times and do a different style every time!

It depends a lot of what color you want. Any SLS color for example cost
above 10000$. I paid for my Jaguar Blue 6000$ what is not too bad if you
consider that a "normal" matt black would have cost the same.

The guys in Affalterbach try hard to take care at all your wishes,
even stuff they don't have in their price-list.
I was very pleased with the whole scenario ...except the waiting time.

cheers,
Cars

If you have the option to go the Performance Studio route and you're set on a particular color I would definitely not hesitate one second to do it. Sure you can do a wrap or have it repainted at a body shop but the quality of the work at the Performance Studio is that of the factory and definitely not something that can be touched by a wrap.

Actually 6k for the blue one isn't bad at all. I think the 17k quote I got was for AMG's Solarbeam color.

This looks amazing and for 6K it's reasonable. Any idea what other colors they offer? I'm considering blue or orange.

They paint you every color you want. It must just fit quality-standards from MB. You give them the color-code & the name from the color and thats it.
