AMG will make a car any color you want. You could bring in a childhood blanket and have them match the color if you wanted. Just a matter of time and $$$.

Supposedly, the Solarbeam Yellow color is (now) exclusive to the SLS Black Series.

But, if you manage to convince MB Germany and AMG, your C63 could be painted in virtually any color at the AMG Performance Studio in Affalterbach after it's produced at the main factory.

Nope!

This is an SLS BS-only color. There was one press CBS that they made Solarbeam, but per the AMG staff, that's it.

Its called Solarbeam and as greenlantern said its only available on an SLS BS and its a $16,000 option, it takes a week to paint it. U.S customer can not order throug the Performance Studio option.

The recent trend with AMG is that nothing stays exclusive to any one vehicle. It's only a matter of time or money. The new "507 edition" C63 uses the C63 BS hood. The C63 BS interior is also an option now for any C class coupe. Request the paint job you want. Remember the light blue C63 black series a couple months ago, or the orange halloween edition? MB is in the business of selling cars. Money talks.

Yea I didn't think it would cost that much to add the multispokes. I was going to try and add this option at the factory during my euro delivery but not for 8k. I think I would rather get my HREs. Just my two cents.

Sorry for off topic OP.

I believe the Halloween Edition wasn't a customer car. The French Racing Blue one was, and for Euro customers, you can do that (if approved by the factory) through the AMG Performance Studio. Basically, the car gets built, then sent back to the AMG Factory / Performance Studio to get repainted in whatever color you want.

Hmm, not really sure if that's the proper MSRP, but I've noticed that adding special MB/AMG wheels *after* the car has been built is a bit pricey. It also comes from the AMG Performance Studio. A friend was ordering a C63 and had the same problem -- was quoted $6500 for the matte black wheels (that you could've gotten as a $1k option on the C63 BS). He opted to not do that, and instead get HRE wheels.
