Repainting of 2007 Mercedes s550

So after all the upgrades both in/out of the car to me it’s time for the car to get the outside paint freshened up. Therefore I contacted my friend who owns a shop to repaint the car. Though the car isn’t in terrible shape buts its paint is 17 years old and has enough scratches, chips, and other imperfections that a nice new paint job will make it loom brand new. Pictures to follow. FYI all jams will be painted and I already ordered all the decals that need to be replaced.

What color will you choose?
Please don't make it another boring shade of grey

The car is black and I am not changing the color. I am just freshening it up with a new paint job.

I have thought about doing this, as I've dumped so much time and money in my near worthless car. How much money will this cost? I asked my local MB body shop for an estimate, but they could not organize themselves enough to give me a bid.
