alubeam silver production numbers by year or overall?

Anyone know roughly (or exactly) how many alubeam paint jobs there are out there on the coupes? Any breakdown on the numbers by year?

The total (not by color) production numbers by year are on the this forum somewhere. You can search as well as I can, so I will let you look.

North America... 10k + world wide. Alubeam is cool but, not going to be super rare. Now if your trying to find one with all the options... that's a different story. 😜

Does anyone have any experience with repairing Alubeam paint? We are looking to repair a small scuff on the lower lip/bumper. AMG dealers are telling me they can not guarantee a match. Thoughts?

No one can guarantee a match on any color. Take it to a certified Mercedes Body shop and they should be able to match it with a few tries if the paint layers are applied correctly per Mercedes specs. The base for alubeam is actually black followed by the silver layer and finally the clear coat.
