Default What colour to wrap my Merc? Pics inside!!
As above I fancy wrapping my Mercedes and got it down to 2 colours but can't decide!

At the moment its metallic black, paint is lovely but really fancy doing it a matt colour - but not black! I like matt silver and matt white. Resale wise i'm thinking matt white would be the better option (realistically will be selling it in the new year), and matt white is a LOT cheaper to buy, but the silver does look hard as nails!!! Worst case it can be removed as i'm doing it myself its not going to cost me a lot.

Here is the car as it is....



Matt silver pic i've found on a facelift SL





Matt white.....



Opinions?!! Perhaps matt white with a gloss black roof?

Cheers
Chris

I'm gonna go with the silver, too many white cars on the road, I reckon the merc will just blend in with the rest of them, whereas the silver looks brutal, it looks like it's about to stab someone!!

p.s. A quote for wrapping my focus in that matt silver please
