[rav2113]

I want to get a $2000 paint job on my mercedes 300D turbo (its currently the light cream color). What color would you get the 300d????

oh ya i am a highschool student so i think color matters in cars haha.

You are in Highschool and have $2,000 for a paint job?.............damn! Slide some bucks my way.......

Well, I would get the original color, or as close as possible, for posterity's sake.

But if you're looking for a change, my personal favorite is arctic white. I know. How creative.

There's always the full range of baby***** browns, too!

I'd go with mirror black or a real dark green. I plan on chaning my silver coupe to black eventually...

[rav2113]

well the car was my dad, but as u know ur first car is not always new. but he is wiling do give me the $2000 cuz he loves the car.

Oh....my dream was paint one red, yellow and black ....the colors of the German flag......or even beter red, white and green...

I would say to stick with the original color, unless you absolutely hate the current color. However, I saw a fire-engine red one today on the highway, and I have to say that looked quite sharp

One word, GREEN!

Really? The best I have seen is Blue.

What color is the interior? Some colors don't go together too well. My personal favorite is silver but I would stick with the original color or very close to it unless you're going to strip the entire car down and have every inch of it repainted inside and out. Otherwise it won't look right.

[Larry Delor]

I was going to ask what color it is now, and add that it might be best to keep it original. There is just something not right about seeing a car, and opening a door or trunk lid, and discovering the real color of the car...seems to loose its appeal to me somehow.

Then again, maybe you should ask the money man...It's his dough, he ought to have some input.

[boneheaddoctor]

I vote for Hot Pink............or bright Purple............maybe Dayglow orange.

Your car would stand out in a parking lot of 100,000 cars....

[brilliantblue]

are metallic light blue and metallic dark brown - not the flat brown, mind you. next to that i'd say a violet dark - near black.

[JMan300sd]

Go original. I thinks it important to keep the car as close to its original intention. On top of which i have read (although it may be false) that changing the color can create problems unles the surface is completely stripped and that can be difficult within the engine compartment doors and trunk.
