I don't know if you call this a "custom" paint job but I am dropping my car off to be painted Ice Blue Effect from the 2004 CLK's. Even thought about adding a silver/white pearl marbelizer to the paint. What do you guys think.
1. Just Ice Blue Effect, 2004 CLK's mostly AMG's
2. Or Ice Blue Effect with a silver/white pearl marbelizer - think marbles or pearls like a pearl necklace.

Rick, I would stay away from the Chameleon paint job. It was a hot paint job back in the late 90's but it doesn't look right on luxury cars. What seems to be the "in" thing right now at the shows are 1) Platinum Silver 2) Graphite 3) Deep blues 4) shades of Orange like what Airtrakk did to his GS)

This Audi TT one several trophies at the DUB show last year. I just love the look of his paint job....

The chameleon paint job was on "itsallgood" car. He doesn't own it anymore. It was sold and then repainted to black. The reason it was repainted is that the owner always got comments like "that was ---'s car right?"

I'll see if I can find some pics.

Here is one of the pics

I had a custom paint job on my car... but it was a shade of black so it wasnt noticeable. It was a BMW Black with blue-green metallic in it. pretty cool color esp when just waxed!
off topic.. but i also got the L-sportline kit... i've been noticing on all the pix of those who got Lsport that the taillights have a slightly larger gap between them and the bumper. I thought i was the only one... but i see it in all the pix.... anywho....
