Orange S Class?

I know I will get trashed but I am thinking (well maybe fantasizing) about painting my S580 orange. I am coming from an S63 2 door and I feel like i am paying so much money for a boring looking car compared to the S63. Anyone like the idea and if so, any suggestions where to get one in the New York area?

No need, there is already "orange peel" all over modern MBs (alright sorry for the bad joke).

I say go for it if that's what you want, as long as you are happy about it Obviously not everyone will like it but as long as you like it and I am sure there are people that like it still.

Obviously, wrap it and even have the jambs done you will never know the difference and can have any exact color you want.

Agreed. Wrapping gives you so many options for color, allows safe return to original paint as well as easily changing to another color if you like.

You can lend your car to the NYC Fire Department Chief as his lead car in the Annual Firefighter Parade! :-) j/k

One possibly drawback of having an orange car is that the amber turn signal is less noticeable as the contrast with the body colour is lower.
But, on the other hand, yellow and orange cars have, statistically speaking among other colours, the least chance of a road accident as they stand out from the background.

hadn’t thought of that. If I owned it I would most likely do so.
