C63s coupe White or Matte Grey?

Going to buy a used pre-facelift coupe, the dealer have both colors available.
The white looks more sporty, shiny
The grey looks more compact, and mean.
Having hard time choose between the two, any advice?
Thanks.

Matte paint can't be polished, so any kind of paint damage essentially means repainting and it's also hard to match unless you repaint the whole car or at least a large part to hide the imperfect match. Most body shops will tell you the paint is impossible to match properly. If you go for matte paint it's highly advisable to wrap the whole car with paint protection film. That's not cheap.

White. The matte grey looks like an overcast cloud.

You know cars come in other colors other than 50 shades of black or white.

+1 for white

If the the matte was something unique like Night Black magno or colors out of the G-order book then it's another story

I see selenite grey magno everywhere, and it's not even exclusive to AMG's. I've seen C300 coupes with it. And personally I think it is it the weakest of the magno offerings. Pass

This place is a joke.
The matte grey looks like primer.
The white looks like an egg.
Hope that helps.

Is it because it's hard(impossible) to repair unless repainted once damaged?

Egg ? ok that's a little funny, not a fan of the matte look but the white (in my opinion anyway) looks pretty good/unique... don't see a lot of it here... with black accents, i like it...

The c300 you see could be a wrap, I think theres no option for c300 for this color.
However, nowadays wraps comes in full color specturm, none of the color is exclusive to any model or brand anymore.

Don't think it was a wrap man. If you're basing it off of the online configurator, the website is not always accurate with all the options.

I am almost sure I've seen it on the C300 but there is also absolutely a ton of other non-AMG selenite magno cars running around.

The MB diamond white is one of the nicest whites imo - can't go wrong with it

That's part of it.

The smallest imperfections stand out much more than on glossy paint.

Whether it just rained, or you didn't wash your car perfectly, you see everything.

Most people here take great care of their cars and wash them weekly, but on gloss paint if you skip a week its not the end of the world.

With matte, you absolutely must wash it weekly or it looks disgusting.

I have a diamond white 63s coupe. While it’s beautiful in the sunlight. White hides the aggressive flare fender under certain lighting. With the matte color you can really see the aggressive flare and all the aggressive line.
