In Your Opinion What Would Be
Just like to know what color you guys think a C43 would sell the best?
I can paint the car just about any color out there accept fancy crazy colors. I been changing my mind so much that I wanted to see what others liked.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I think original color is the most important. Anything non-original should just be based on your personal preferences. I've always thought a slate gray over the blue and black leather would be a great combo.

Thanks for the suggestions. The car is silver but I have leaned not to spray it that color because I’m doing so much work on it that I really want something different. I don’t know why I added red on the list as I would not want that color at all.
The interior of my car is black with the alpaca grey. So it be nice to somehow paint it a color to complement that, not match that.
I also want to paint the wood inside the car the same color of the exterior(whatever color that will be). I don’t like the wood. I know that I will not be looking to sell to those period correct guys, I’m not a period correct guy.
It’s turning out to be just pick a color I like and just keep it. And if someone else likes it and wants to buy it then I will consider selling it.
My neighbor bought a 2004 Mazda 3. The color is a blue pearl color code 42M. It’s a beautiful color in person. On YouTube it don’t do it justice. But I’m struggling with that color too. So many nice choices out there.

I'd do a carbon wrap or something like that on the wood. Something special, but takes a second glance to catch. What might look good on a Porsche 911 (body colored center console for example) might not look good on a W202. The beauty of the C43 is that it is a bit of muscles with a fitted tuxedo, not a WWE wrestler. I'm not suggesting leave it stock, but I would pretend I was one of the guys at AMG and suddenly my boss came over and said, 'remember how I said we didn't have the budget or time to do that thing you wanted to do on the C43, well go ahead and do it now.' Different, unique, but in character.
