I know I've been griping about colors, but GEEZE!

It was such a beautiful, crisp, clear day that I decided to put the top down on the SL and go for a ride. I saw this car, so I thought I'd share some photos. It wasn't really glossy, but wasn't really matte. Kind of looked like someone tried to polish a matte finish.. It was hideous, at least in my eyes. Could this possibly be a factory paint job? Is that some Designo color?

Looks like it was wrapped.

Now that you mention it, I believe you are right! It probably is a wrap. I keep forgetting about those things.

It certainly could be. But in Newport Beach, CA, where this photo was taken, not so much.

Subtlety is out the window yet most S Class Owners would shy away too .

Actually this color reminds me of one that Mercedes used quite a bit on their S-Class models (W126 & W140). That color was even uglier than this one. Teal Blue; MB called it Berryl Blue (code 888).
