Do these colors look alike or am I going crazy???? I wanted Steel Grey and it looks like Steel Blue/Green.

Must be the chameleon paint fords used to have.
Picture not very good,hard to tell and I only drive black cars,obsidian black.

The question is.....should I pay to have it repainted???? I told the shop the color and they painted it wrong. They say it is the right color. I think their vendor messed up.

I dunno but I like your new color a lot. As for as I know, they made 210s in that color... or maybe its a color very similar to it.

mike430sport

It just bothers me that the carbon fiber clashes with the paint also the bumper light

I'm sure you get a wrong color, but do not change it!!! looks exelent pretty good & clean, you get the vin number by the SL R230 to prepare th paint? pretty similar looks good to me don't repaint it

Post some comparative pictures Before/after paint.. also, what brand are your trunk little lip? looks pretty cool

Color match the bumper light and maybe even the spoiler. I gotta take closer look at your car one of these days. I saw you before paint on the 101 last time.

mike430sport

The bumper light will be painted. If I keep the color, I might paint the spoiler and the pillars. The carbon fiber clashes. Or just paint the spoiler and leave the pillars black....... I the shop tomorrow morning. I might just have them paint it the color I wanted. Fun drive again from San Jose all the way SF. Also I like it without the front plate. The I took the trunk badges off and am painting the star black, also took off the "sport" from the front fenders.

Actually that is a SL63 AMG I took a pic of with my phone here in San Jose CA. No I didn't get the vin #. Just told my shop the color and what car it came from. I just can't believe this. Here is a better pic of the car in the color I wanted.

it seems like they painted your car almost this color:

mike430sport

I am going to keep the color the cell phone pics don't do it justice. I was all getting worked up and it actually looks great. I will take pics soon

I paint for a living and I don't believe the color is wrong. The problem with paint shops is they look at one variable of the paint and that is wehat they shoot. When painting a whole car it doesn't matter if the color blends wiht the old to them. I personally like the way it looks as well. Almost the old FLIP/FLOP color scheme.

mike430sport

That is what I was told today. That there are 3 versions of the color. I like it
It looks good

Fabio D

Pretty cool color!

illest

the color looks good.

mike430sport

I got the right color. I asked for some touch-up paint and saw the color code. It really looks good. In the pics it almost looks greenish. Live in person it is grey with a metalic or pearl blue in it. Finished product, even the bird likes it

Fabio D

First pics don't look at all similar to this pic now! but anyway looks pretty cool good color

Thank you guys for the approval on the color, it changes with the light.

what are you lowered on?

The first pictures look greenish but the one in the parking lot looks closer to your desired color. It's beautiful. I'm jealous.

mike430sport

I have bilstien sports all around, stock pads, and heated springs. It doesn't ride like a honda. The car drives very smooth.

I think it looks good, too. It looks a lot better than the BMW Bavaria I used to own. I was getting it painted. At the time, metallic paints were not as good as they are now so I wanted as close to the original color but not in metallic. The owner of the paint shop and I looked at a bunch of chips and finally decided on one that we both thought would be good. I guess there wasn't enough light when we were looking because when it was finished, I probably had the only powder blue BMW Bavaria in the world!
