Painting the E55 again, color choices welcome
It's that time again..
After a year of having the E55 gray, it's time to choose a new color
This time a new shop, that hopefully won't burn down halfway through the job
Pics of Silver --> Gray

I now also have these wheels:
Right now my thoughts are some flavor of white (maybe Isis White from Lamborghini or Designo Mystic White from Mercedes) and possibly even the wheel lip white and face black to go along with the theme.
Roof gloss black, badges and grille flat black
Any other colors that you'd like to see on a w211 e55?

so what was the original color of the car? how much does the paint job cost considering you have to pull the doors and panels? Does it come out looking OEM even though its a respray? I'm getting sick of my car's color really quickly and might want to respray it also.

Looks better than OEM, we pull everything apart on the car.
Originally was silver, no trace of that color left behind.
I love the car, and just want to freshen up/change the look every chance I can
Last time ended up costing 3400+, this time is at a different shop, a little cheaper, they painted the viper last year (originally red)

It was for sale, not anymore, I'm going to keep it and have it a new color!
Balloon white is nice, but I think the flats are too played out, one of those blues may be a nice choice

Nice color, but kind of hurts my eyes even though I know it's photoshopped. Do you think the E can pull off a color like BMW's Leguna Seca Blue or even that baby blue lambo from above?
