The price is way too much, but I agree it's awesome.

Other makes are going crazy with the cool paint jobs (Porsche for example), so let MB join in.

$6500 is over the top, though.

 

They do still have all the typical colors for free or slight cost but yeah, $6,500 is a lot.

 

Imagine that green on an S-Class with the right wheels... Whew.

I don't think you can customize a MB paint job like with a Porsche.

How even is the paint these days quality wise on a Merc, how is the paint job on your W223?

 

Yeah, okay. Guilty. I love all those greens 💚

I’m also very picky about interior color — the color combo has to be what I want if it’s going to be my car. Ain’t no compromising there.

 

They have a similar color for the S that is free, Verde silver.



It didn’t exist in 24 but I might have gotten that.

Paint quality on the 223 is great, MUCH better than my 222. Almost Lexus LS level.

 

Porsche is insane with the level of customization. They've got this "Paint to sample" program that starts at $14k. Here's an example of just green shades.

 

No I get it. It was black interior or nothing for our LX.

It's still nice inside with the tan but the black looks soooooo much better. It was literally a deal breaker, one with the beige interior. Deal breaker. The black and beige, those were the only colors available inside at the time.



Much better:

 

I try different interior colors but I always come back to black.

One reason is those light interiors look great when they're new, but even if you clean them as religiously as I do they wind up looking dingy and dirty if they don't have black carpets etc

 

I tried light interiors twice in my first LS430 and my 460, the 430 I just gave up after a while and the 460 came with a new interior that I managed to keep that way until my wife started dailying it. Now the footwell carpet is discolored and I don't feel like dealing with it...

Im back to black or super dark contrast colors over black carpet/main areas. The exception is the Pheaton but it was mint to start and will be kept that way

 

I was a loyal black interior guy for 20 years but I needed a switch up. My white Nuluxe is holding up really well considering I work in a very dusty, dirty environment.

Gear oil, hydraulic oil or grease sneaking on my work clothes is the only thing that worries me.

 

First attempt at light, this was the day I sold the car

Second attempt, went much better but is still a PITA

This one somehow survived near perfectly for 150k miles before I got it

Stupid amount of burl wood that runs front to back


Back to mostly black interiors for me though, much easier to daily and when I'm working I just bring other clothes or a work car on a day I know a lot of oils etc will be involved


I'm building a new shop though and it will have a shower etc so I'll be able to drive my nice cars constantly going forward.

 

Black carpets? Thats a big part of it.

 

Yea black carpets. If everything was white I probably wouldn't have gone for it.

 

I like to change it up once in a while when it comes to interior colors. We've had black, white, coffee, red, tan.

 

Lately, ive been in a brown kind of mood. Brown tends to match well with black, and often comes with black accents so hides dirt pretty well
