My pueblo biege 300SL only has 66K miles and runs and looks great.
I only thought about the engine swap because I like the color not being silver, red, or black and the Sl320 engine seems to have updated injection and diagnotic systems.
Would be easier to paint a newer SL500 pueblo Biege!!!

Why not find a beige one and buy that. Repainting a MB is not a cheap proposition since most paint shops see the three pointed star and think money. The ones that do a good job and use the right materials charge a good deal too since the process is time consuming. Not to mention you will ruin the resale value of the car in the process. Painting a car an unpopular color is a death sentence in terms of resale.
Or you could just keep your car. While it does not have the "updated" engine it still quite a nice car.
