The Godfather

Are those colors the same? They look the same to me...

Can anyone educate me please?

Also, does anybody know what the color code is please? Thanks!

tectite grey: 753
...designo colors all start with 0 meaning that the colorcode is below 100...and thus not the same...

greetingz,

The Godfather

Thanks

btw, I read Jim (jl88) saying that the tectite grey option for the SL was removed and repackaged into the designo graphite package, hence it is the same color.

So is it just the same? for example it's tectite grey on the w211 but graphite on the SL?

they are different colors and tecitite is no more ..

Graphite appeals to me slightly better rather than Tectite. They are similar but there is a difference.

My personal favorite it Flint Grey.

The Designo graphite is a great color, love it! The code is 041. We had a sportcoupe with this color, was realy beatiful. There's a little bit of green in the paint, but you'll only see it if the sun is shining.
The code for Tektite is 753, we recently had a E500 4-M station in tektite! (special order).

My G500 is in Techtite - best color I have ever seleted for a car (truck). Techtite = not black, not grey and does NOT show dirt at all. Love that color...an updated version of the old original 356 Porsche grey.

The Godfather

Doesn't it show swirl marks like black does? I'm leaning toward getting the regular brillant silver, because after 5 black cars, I"m just tired of buffing it out all night long.

get flint gray man, the new paint doesnt swirl nearly as easily...

The Godfather

Wish I could afford a new car Looking to get an 00 to 02.

Kar don

I have tectite. It is a great color but not available anymore. Has been replaced by Flint grey.

Same here. Best color on the G500. They don't make it on the G anymore right? I have an '03 model so I've been away from the new car game awhile since Mercedes Financial decided to try some fraud on me.

Tectite is so nice - not a pain to keep clean like black and not as common as silver - gorgeous color - but I am biased

AMGPilot

Only color to get is Tectite

Here is a photo of my 07 E63, that is Designo Graphite. I think that color is outstanding.

Yuille, your car is insane as always, we need to get you some smoked side markers though.

This can't be right, my C43 is 040 black which is NOT a designo color...
