Hello all. I am purchasing an E350 wagon and am getting it in Flint Grey. I was signing the papers and I noticed that the description of the paint is:

Flint Grey / Monotone Paint Application (528-01)

Does this mean that the paint is not metallic? Or does it mean that is going to be dull? I am a bit concerned that the paint will look very dull.

Thanks in advance for your response!

It means there's only one color.

Translation from German is often amusing.

It's metallic for sure.

This color changes rather dramatically under different lighting; it seems to look best in bright sunshine.

reminds me of the titanium gray II I had on one of E60 BMWs...a really nice color all around only down side was that in low light or when dirty it just looked dull and flat however in the bright sun, when clean it looked deep and rich / ps-not saying that the MBZ flint gray suffers from the same, I dont know, just sharing my 2-cents and drawing a comparison with BMW

Well said.

Monotone equals monochromatic equals one color.

Thank you for all your responses. I was afraid that the Flint Grey was going to be flat looking.
