In the absence of a true black, I’m struggling to pick a color. I saw the GT in, I think, selenite grey mango awhile back with black wheels and brown interior and it looked awesome. I’m been looking at the monza grey mango (thinking it might be similar) but it looks to brown. If I’m right, it looks like the SLS below? Very bronze in color to me.
Is this is a good representation of that color?
And what is so different in the Manufukter paints? They have metallic and non-metallic paints listed there too.

Here's some photos of Monza on the SL, looks to have a bit of a bronze tone to it, but does look good! Sterling Blue Magno or Moonlight White Magno are also some matte finishes that will probably look good on the SL.
I personally can't wait to see Hyper Blue in person, I think that will be the color to get.
I saw that color on the SL on another thread but wasn’t sure about the color. Thanks for confirming. I’m going to have to pass on it. As for the Hyper blue……….dang it looks good but I’m not ready for that much, “look at me” just yet.
The Monza color looks very nice! It is difficult to see in the pics, but does it has a black windscreen (like all SLs) or is it Monza too? It looks (much) lighter than the black softtop.
Would love to have plain, solid black (like my current S63, code 040), it works much better then the Obsidian (197) imho.
Or Iridium Silver (775). And what about Emerald Green (989)?

Yes. A true black. I put the actual build in yesterday and it about killed me to list obsidian black. If I keep it, it’s going to look funny between my other true black cars. I’m still considering selenite if I can find some cool pictures of it first.
We had several obsidian black cars including an SL. I don't know why this color is so popular; it always looked dusty to me. But then I am not a fan of the 040 black, had a couple of those too and while stunning when freshly washed they were always the most delicate paints and quickly looked dirty. Living in MN didn't help of course.
We settled on Magnetite Black to be our favorite black (not sure why it's not offered) apart from Magno colors. I would take the car in Monza Gray Magno or maybe Starling Blue Magno
